Revisiting the stories of trans characters, Caeneus and Iphis, in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!)

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources: Ovid's Metamorphoses, translated by Stephanie McCarter (entries and end notes); "Reframing Iphis and Caeneus: Trans Narratives and Socio-Linguistic Gendering in Ovid’s Metamorphoses)" by J. L. Watson.
