Abstrakt:
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse Celtic motives that were adapted by Lady Gregory in her works. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the cultural and historical context with the emphasis on Anglo-Irish relations and Irish Literary Revival, and the Celtic nations. The following chapter is dedicated to Gaelic religion and mythology in general. The final, practical, part compares extant Celtic and Irish myths to motives portrayed in the plays The Golden Apple, and The Dragon.
