Celtic Mythology: Difference between revisions

See [[Irish Names]] for pronunciation help.

* [[The Ace]]: Irish god Lugh, who was called Samildanach or "long-handed"--both of which mean "good at everything."

* [[Action Girl]]: Scáthach, the woman who trained Cuchulainn, her sister Aoife, Queen Medb . . . The Irish did not shy away from the idea of women being competent fighters.

* [[Year Inside, Hour Outside]] (inverted): A common problem when one spends time in the Otherworld.

** In Tir na nÓg you experience time normally, but don't age it until you leave. Which isn't a pretty sight.

== Anime & Manga ==

* ''[[Code Geass]]'' contains some references to Celtic Myths, such as the Geass (derived from the geis/geas). It also heavily references [[King Arthur|Arthurian Legend]], as well as {{spoiler|Lelouch's death having shades of [[King in the Mountain]], due to [[Wild Mass Guessing]] over his death/possible survival}}. It helps that [[The Empire]] refers to itself as Britannia and makes heavy use of the legends and actual history of the British Isles.
