Why are the Japanese obsessed with Gaelic and the Irish? It's their third-most obsessed nationlanguage after Germany and AMERIKA.

Fate/stay night has Réalta Nua, the second Ghost in the Shell movie intro, to name just two examples.

>A geis can be compared with a curse or, paradoxically, a gift. If someone under a geis violates the associated taboo, the infractor will suffer dishonor or even death. On the other hand, the observing of one's geasa is believed to bring power. Often it is women who place geasa upon men. In some cases the woman turns out to be a goddess or other sovereignty figure.

>The geis is often a key device in hero tales, such as that of Cúchulainn in Irish mythology. Traditionally, the doom of heroes comes about due to their violation of their geis, either by accident, or by having multiple geasa and then being placed in a position where they have no option but to violate one geis in order to maintain another. For instance, Cúchulainn has a geis to never eat dog meat, and he is also bound by a geis to eat any food offered to him by a woman. When a hag offers him dog meat, he has no way to emerge from the situation unscathed; this leads to his death.

>A beneficial geis might involve a prophecy that a person would die in a particular way; the particulars of their death in the vision might be so bizarre that the person could then avoid their fate for many years.

An Odyssey eroge would be amazing, it would be full of yanderes trying to keep you with them. You'd have:

- Sea nymph Calypso who is so lonely that she traps you in her island and tries to kill herself if you leave her.
- Polyphemus in form of a shepherd loli with massive strength. Her hair covers one of her eyes, to hide the fact she only has one eye. She calls the wrath of her father if you escape her grasp by blinding her.
- Circe who turns your crew into pigs and uses you as a sex slave if you didn't prepare moly herb beforehand.
- Siren harem scenes
- Scylla as a monstergirl (her upper half is still that of a nymph, so it'd be all the benefits of an attractive girl and a tentacle monster. Maybe she'd even scene her own rape to arouse you. )
- True end with Penelope.
