    • 2005, Moya Lloyd, Beyond Identity Politics: Feminism, Power and Politics, page 139:
      All gender is parodic in the sense that it is all imitative, but some forms are more parodic than others because that imitativeness is exposed.

      From this common background, the G author/redactor seems to have chosen to highlight the more parodic elements in the tradition, while muting the more serious or somber representation of Aesop's heroic end.
