    The story of David and Goliath is echoed in many mythic tales; special attention is given to three Irish versions. The protagonists have different names, rooted in the ancient sanskrit language. This paper suggests it is based in astronomy; the identification of the heroes with the constellations has been aided by scenes on the Gundestrup Cauldron. By reference to precession of the celestial pole, it is suggested that the myth was formed about 3500 BC
