Celts in Greek Mythology
Celtine, daughter of Bretannus, fell in love with the son of Heracles and hid away his kine (the cattle of Geryon) refusing to give them back to him unless he would first content her. From Celtus 1 (their offspring) the Celtic race derived their name.
I saw this and thought I'd share. Any Greek myth buffs that can confirm or refute it?
