    Another, lesser-known personification was Ankou, known in Breton mythology as well as in Cornish, Welsh and Norman folklore. Ankou appears in many tales gathered from oral tradition.

No one living has ever seen his face, for to do so would be to die He is sometimes depicted as a man-shaped living shadow, sometimes as a…

Shweder and Bournes hypotheses and results serve…
