    A lot of Roman stuff is Greek Derived I think the history of Rome is a bit more interesting than the mythology. The origin story of Rome though is pretty interesting and unique.

    Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.

    We don’t actually know if there were druids in Iberia, or that Far East into Noricum... there’s really no proof either way for those places...

    Greek mythology is the most rich and interesting to me.

    Greek mythology practically leaves no human phenomenon undescribed, no other mythology is as complete describing what people are like, and it is still valid for our days, apart from the fact that we have more original sources , without romantic/nationalistic intoxications or directly inventions like others.

    Well, I think that in the case of Iberia there was a small migration of Gauls and British Celts, if there were no druids in the Celtiberians or Celts of Iberia, maybe there were druids from Gaul or the British Isles.

    Well when it comes to the connection between ancient Celtic Iberia and Britain I would say that it’s in the reverse direction. There’s more evidence to say that the Irish had some influences from Iberia then vice versa, both archaeologically, linguistically, and in the fact that there is a couple of species from Iberia that currently exists natively to Ireland that would’ve had no other way of getting there besides human trade.
    And of course to back it up but not quite strong evidence on its own is the story of the Mileasians in the Irish book of invasions.

    Well I’d say the reason for that is less because Greek mythology is so thorough and more because our understanding, and sources of other mythologies is less thorough.

    So you will vote for Nubian mythology because may be he was fantastic, but is less thorough than the options that posted OP.

    Oppenheimer's theory and the connection of Irish myths with Iberia.
