Book Review: The White Goddess

Title: The White Goddess
Author: Robert Graves
Publisher: Creative Age Press, NY Date: 1948

Well, I've read most of this book and I'm putting it down out of boredom. Graves is very keen on the idea that much of the Iberio-Celtic language is influenced by the Greeks. His organization of the Ogham, which has been upheld as the standard, is based off his Greek theory.

He appears to be basing every aspect of his worn on myth and J. G. Frazer's Golden Bough. While the Golden Bough is an excellent book, you need more then one source for research.
