===Other mythologies=== Cernunnos has also been suggested to have survived in other legends. Justin Favrod suggests that a fertility festival (perhaps involving deer costumes), held on the 1 January in some Celtic countries and suppressed by the church after Christianisation, represented a festival to Cernunnos.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Les évêques des Gaules et la fête de Cernunnos: une hypothèse sur l'origine des rogations |date=1992 |journal=Études de Lettres: Revue de la Faculté des lettres de l'Université de Lausanne |last=Favrod |first=Justin |issue=4 |page=67 |doi=10.5169/seals-870447 }}</ref> [[Gwilherm Berthou]] equated Cernunnos with the mythical Breton {{ill|Saint Cornély|fr}}, protector of cattle.<ref name=Olmsted/>{{rp|337}} [[R. Lowe Thompson]] suggested that [[Herne the Hunter]], an antlered ghost of English folklore first attested in [[Shakespeare]], was cognate with Cernunnos.<ref>{{cite book |last=Thompson |first=R.
