Greek Letters

The usage of letters from a completely distant society is one of the strangest characteristics of Druidic society. Although the druids relied mainly on oral tradition, according to Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars, when they had to write, the letters they used were Greek. A man named Patholon is credited with bringing the Greek language, as well as his wife, three sons, and their three wives. However, given that he is also said to have brought three druids whose names are Cognition, Enquiry, and Knowledge respectively, it is safe to assume that he was a totally mythological entity and that the language was truly delivered by unidentified settlers.

The language barrier prevented the average person from being able to read it, according to Caesar, who said that the thought was comparable to that of the Catholic Church prior to Martin Luther. Furthermore, druids thought that having to rely more on spoken communication required greater cerebral activity, which preserved their memories. Ironically, we only know that because their conquerors recorded it in a written report.
