Woohoo, there is a story of female to male transitioning in this!!
The (unnamed) child of Alimbeg instantly f>m transitions after eating the seeds and core of a magic apple given by the warrior god Washtirji! Passing along as a PSA in case anyone has a line to Washtirji and wants to try this!

no way one of these stories is just a mutilated version of the Scyhtian genealogical myth lmao

One of the most entertaining collections of folklore I've ever opened. Such great, moving stories.

Finished the Urizhmag cycle, obviously a variation on Yima, with entire episodes from the Odyssey in there for good measure.

This is fucking incredible, literally like a speedrun of Indo-European motifs but with some Central/East Asian and Near Eastern episodes in too.
