Re: Mythology- femslash in the canon?

[(Anonymous)]

Oooh thanks, I will note those two down.

Maybe "canon" probably wasn't the right word. I guess what I'm looking for is iterations of the stories that come from roughly the same time period/region as when/where the rest of the versions of the stories were being recorded in some way? I'm trying to cast a wide enough net, but if it originates from a totally different culture than the rest of the stories then I'd categorize that as fanon rather than a potential canon.

But like you say, no doubt a lot of what we hear has been straight-washed, so there's room for re-interpretation that's not just fanon, I think, if you can find hints or word choices or images or whatever that suggest a queer version that may have been ignored or suppressed- you just have to show the sources and explain your reasoning.
