Line 16:
See [[Irish Names]] for pronunciation help.
=== Tropes found in Celtic mythology: ===▼
* [[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.
Line 119 ⟶ 118:
* [[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.
=== Works substantially derived from (or outright retellings of) Celtic mythology: ===▼

== 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.
