ORIGIN: Celtic [Irish]
TYPE: God of poetry and speech
INFORMATION: Very little is known of him, but the Roman writer Lucian mentions a Romano-Celtic god of wisdom. Ogmios apparently assimilated with Hercules and is described as an old man with lion's skin holding a crowd of people chained to his tongue by their ears.
NOTE: A goddess Ogma is also mentioned; she may have been a mother goddess in the original Irish pantheon.
