Classical Traditions in Myths

Ireland and Bran the Explorer

Similarly, there is another legend told in Celtic mythology, where Bran, son of Febal, is approached by a mystery woman and is told of the Isles of the Blest through a poem:

A Branch of the apple-tree from Emain

I bring, like those one knows;

Twigs of white silver are on it,

Crystal brows with blossoms.

There is a distant isle,

Around which sea-horses glisten;

A fair course against the white-swelling
