Transmythology
I really enjoyed this passage from Antigone Rising. I believe representation in media is so important, and something that is often valued. As a queer person, I feel like there is not enough representation in modern storytelling. However, seeing that that has not always been the case, that we were seen in ancient myths, is very affirming. It completely disproves many people's beliefs that queerness is a modern invention. I do think it is important to note, as the author does, that certain stereotypes or tropes in these stories can be damaging and hurtful to the LGBTQ+ community; including the tale of Caeneus.
