Esus
Esus was a Gaulish god named by the Roman poet Lucan, together with Teutates and Taranis, as receiving human sacrifice. He appears on the Pillar of the Boatmen, a 1st-century monument from Paris, as a man cutting a tree, and on a relief from Trier. Little else is known of his cult, and his relationship to other Celtic gods is uncertain.
