Considering I know squat about celtic history (which is sad, 
considering I'm 3/4 Scottish) ...I am curious as to how much this may 
or may not tie into the Tuath De Danaan (or is it D' Danaan...Da 
Danaan...*frown* ...canna remember)

That is an interesting thought, though... Danaan... Canaan. Let me 
know how it goes. My interest is quite piqued (Peaked?).

If you would really like someone seriously knowlegeable about the 
greco-roman field to discuss this with who could be of waaaaay more 
use to you than my second hand postings of it, I could send an email 
along to my friend for you. He adores conversation of this sort. And 
gets rather in depth, as well.

Tschüs!
