Abandinus
In
Celtic mythology, the god
Abandinus is mysterious, currently known only from a single inscription from
Cambridgeshire, England in
Godmanchester; specifically, an inscribed bronze votive feather is dedicated to him with the text
to the god Abandinus, Vatiaucus gave this from his own resources. Some believe that he was associated with the
river Ouse (formerly known as
Abona or
Afon), though Celtic river deities were almost always female, so this may be unlikelyl; he may also have been associated with a local spring. Others have suggested that is related to
Mabon, a more popular Celtic deity; though it seems unlikely,
Abandinus and
Mabon have linguistic characteristics that make this theoriy possible.
