Beware dogs in the mountains of Japan, for the Okuri-Inu, the Escort Dog, will walk with you for as long as your journey may take: but if you should trip and fall, the Okuri-Inu will devour you. To lose your furry fiendish friend, pretend to sit and take a rest.

Black cats with white spots on their chest are known to the Scottish as Fairy Cats, cat-sith, huge as a dog with an attitude to match. Prone to stealing souls, on Samhain if given a saucer of milk they offer blessings, and a curse without.

: `Sliabh Eibhlinne means "mountains of Ébliu", an ancient goddess. In the Lebor Gabála Érenn (The Book of the Taking of ), the newly-arrived Milesians meet the goddess  on these mountains, and she asks them to name the island after her. Fódla thus became a poetic name for Ireland. In the early modern era, the name Eibhlinne became confused with the more common male name Féilim, and so the mountains became known in English as Slieve Felim.`

The Land of the Lotus Eaters is hotly debated in ancient geography, being an island where eating lotuses causes one to forget their cares... and everything else. Herodotus places it off Libya, Polybia off Carthage in Tunisia; Pseudo-Scylax places it off Dalmatia
