Belenus

            Belenus is the Gallic deity identified with Apollo. As well as Apollo, he was considered to be the god-physic and was especially respected as the patron of sacred hot sources. Name Belenos, apparently, is connected with the Irish name of spring holiday Beltene and originates from a root meaning “white, to shine”, which can indicate the solar character of the deity. Apollo in Gallia was also identified with a deity named Mapon which was connected with art of music.
