Stack o’ Dice

Creation Corner: Rhett has always been fascinated by accounts of druids. In this Creation Corner episode, he digs into the history of this elusive group by looking at scattered accounts from classical literature to see how the ancient world viewed them. For your reference, here are the links to the various accounts:

• The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers, by Diogenes Laertius (Prologue)
• Concerning the Gallic War, by Julius Caesar (Book 6, Section 13)
• On Divination, by Marcus Tullius Cicero (Book 1, Section 90)
• The Library of History, by Diodorus Siculus (Book 5, Section 30)
• The Geography, by Strabo (Book 4, Chapter 4)
• The Natural History, by Gaius Plinius Secoundus (Book 16, Chapter 95)
• Concerning the Description of the World, by Pomponius Mela (Book 3, Sections 18-19)
• Pharsalia, by Lucan (from Book1 and Book 3)
• Annales, by Tacitus (Book 14, Sections 29-30)
• Rerum Gestarum, by Ammianus Marcellinus (Book 15, Section 9)

We provide these links so you can read along if you'd like, and to do some reading around the passages to increase your awareness of the context. Seriously, this is captivating stuff, and we hope you enjoy it.
