[EN] Sucellus and Viîvakarman
Because the myths make no mention of him, god Sucellus is one of the most serious difficulties for contemporary exegesis. After reconsidering the case, which consists mainly of his iconography, I define him as a god of woodcraft specialising in the making of barrels in the Gallo-Roman period. He can thus be matched with an Irish counterpart, Carpenter Luchtai. Furthermore, he has some specific common points with Indian god Viśvakarman, also specialising in woodcraft. These common points are examined in this article.
