Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description
Bu cryn drafod ar y Derwyddon am dros ddwy fil o flynyddoedd, gan eu bod yn enigmatig ac yn creu dryswch, a chan fod y diffyg gwybodaeth amdanynt yn esgor ar ddehongliadau amrywiol ohonynt.
Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
The Druids first came into focus in Western Europe - Gaul, Britain, and Ireland - in the second century BC. They are a popular subject; they have been known and discussed for over 2,000 years and few figures flit so elusively through history. They are enigmatic and puzzling, partly because of the lack of knowledge about them has resulted in a wide spectrum of interpretations.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

He examines why the nature of the druid caste changed quite dramatically over time, and how successive generations have interpreted the phenomenon in very different ways.
