'' The ''locus classicus'' for the Celtic gods of [[an Ghaill]] is the passage in [[Julius Caesar]]'s ''[[Commentarii de Bello Gallico]]'' (52–51 BC) in which he names six of them, together with their functions. He says that [[Mearcair|Mercury]] was the most honoured of all the gods and many images of him were to be found. Mercury was regarded as the inventor of all the arts, the patron of travellers and of merchants, and the most powerful god in matters of commerce and gain. A fter him, the Gauls honoured [[Apollo]], who drove away diseases, [[Mars|Mars]], who controlled war, [[Iúpatar|Jupiter]], who ruled the heavens, and [[Minerva]], who promoted handicrafts. He adds that the Gauls regarded [[Dis Pater]] as their ancestor.<ref>[[Julius Caesar]], ''[[Commentarii de Bello Gallico]]'' [https://archive.today/20120714093800/http://perseus.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=Caes.+Gal.+6.17 6:17-18]</ref>
