[LD] A name of Jupiter among the Druids in Gaul. Toland, in his History of the Druids (p. 247), gives a list of the Dii Gallorum, beginning with Taramis and ending with Adraste or Andate. And, in an edition of Toland's History, edited with elaborate notes by R. Huddleston, schoolmaster, Lunan, and published at Montrose in 1814, I find the following, p. 357:—"Taramis, or Taranis, is the Gaelic Taran, or Tharan, i.e. 'thunder.' This god is the same with the Grecian Zeus, or the Roman Jupiter. By this deity the Celts understood Baal. Taranis, or Tharanis, is sometimes written Tanaris, or Thanaris, which bears a great affinity to the English thunder, the German Donder, and the Roman Tonitru. Lucan mentions him (lib. i.) in these words—
Et Taranis Scythicæ non mitior ara Dianæ.
From the Celts the Germans borrowed Tharanis, and by abbreviation formed their God Thor, whence Thursday, the same as the Roman Dies Iovis." Compare Southey's Book of the Church, vol. i. p. 5.—ED.
[LE] The same editor of Toland's book on the Druids, whose comment on Taranis is given in the previous note, writes thus of Adraste, or Andate, p. 359:—"Respecting this goddess there has been some difference of opinion. The Greeks seem to have considered her as Nemesis, or the goddess of revenge.... There can be little doubt that the goddess here meant is the Phœnician Ashtaroth, or Astarte, i.e. 'the moon.'" See Dio Cassius, i. 64.—ED.
