I'm no hagiographer, but this sounds suspiciously like the personification of a pre-Christian cult, which, I believe, commonly focused on the sources of rivers, the river giving its name to the saint, rather than vice versa, as Butler claims.. And by "cannibals" presumably Celts are meant. Can anyone shed more light on this? Cheers, Jim Bugslag %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
