Ogmios

 

Ogmios

Ogmios was a Gaulish deity, usually depicted as a bald old man with a bow and club who leads an apparently happy band of men with chains attached to their ears and tongues. The Roman writer Lucian equated him with Hercules.

He is likely related to the Irish god Ogma, and is one of the closest Gaulish parallels to Ogma's brother, the Dagda.
