[edit] Recycled Story
The Chinese legend "The Flowering Peach Tree" wich took place in the mountains, & the Japanese story of Urashima Tarō wich took place in the sea, are identicle for the most part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.122.193 (talk) 22:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Specifics
I have put information specific only to Tir na nog here, to have separate articles for the individual subjects of Mag Mell and Tir na nog. It might be useful to have a combined article, something under Otherworld, which would link to the pages individually.--Cuchullain 05:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling
Why is it spelled Tir na nÓg instead of Tir na nóg? — JIP | Talk 11:23, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- The n- is a prefix to the word Óg (youth). The "Óg" is capitalized for the same reason Youth is capitalized in "Land of Youth".—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cuchullain (talk • contribs) 14:37, October 26, 2005.
In most tales, Oisin returned to Eire after 300 years had passed, not 100 as this page states. In fact under the article on Niamh it states 300 years.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.168.13.143 (talk • contribs) 18:24, February 4, 2007.
[edit] Fictional Uses
I wonder if it might not be useful to link to authors and/or book series which have used Tir na nÓg in some way in their settings? For example Joel Rosenberg used it as the name for the fantasy setting of his cross-over series "Keepers of the Hidden Way".--Crossmr 23:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think so, lists of that type aren't very encyclopedic and are typically unmaintainable.--Cúchullain t/c 00:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Embryonic Stem Cells gene
I don't know exactly how to edit very well but I hear that the gene which maintains immortality in embryonic stem cells was named Nanog after Tir na nOg. Would somebody like to add this or maybe it isn't worth adding as part of the article? Lachy123 (talk) 03:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
