It's Asexual Awareness Week! 💜 🤍 🖤

Here are some characters from folklore any mythology who are on the ace spectrum (according to my personal canon):

Pomona (from the myth of Pomona and Vertumnus)

Palamedes (from the Trojan war)

Marfisa the Knight (from Orlando Furioso)

The lad from Twelve Dancing Princesses

And if the anthology I'm glaring at gets a European tale so wrong, what does it do with folktales from farther afield?

But still: gotta make a buck!
