Helvetios is a song by the Swiss folk metal band Eluveitie, released as the title track of their 2012 concept album Helvetios. The song serves as a powerful anthem that encapsulates the album’s overarching narrative about the Helvetii, an ancient Celtic tribe, and their struggles during the Gallic Wars. The song is deeply rooted in Celtic history and mythology, portraying the Helvetii's attempts to migrate westward and their eventual defeat at the hands of Julius Caesar's Roman Republic at the Battle of Bibracte in 58 BC.
