In ancient Scotland and some other areas of Britania and the surrounding Isles, the clans were ruled by matriarchs--not by men. The Romans, for their part, borrowed many members of their pantheon of deities from the Greeks, giving them different names, such as Jupiter, instead of Zeus. The celts and gaelic peoples had their own deities and legends. There's a rich history of Celtic myths, heroes, and legends found in sources like the Book of Kel (9th C)--not to mention the legends of King Arthur, in Britain, traced to a 4th-5th C general named Arturus.
