Is There a Canonical Version of the Myth?

The fixed canon is a product of a society that operates largely on the basis of fixed, recorded media and has a like capitalist conception of intellectual property. I think those things are just death to mythology. But certainly, what we're going about to roll out here is not the, it is not the canon, but it is maybe as close to the canon as we can sort of agree on for the purposes of moving forward. As always, i pick up carol rose's a books of monsters and fairies, because she did such a fabulous job nailing down the essential mythsa that sort of thing.
