TH has been called the first ever "gay science fiction story".[1] The narrator is suddenly enveloped by a typhoon and swept up to the moon, which is inhabited by a society of men that are at war with the sun. After distinguishing himself in combat, the king gives the hero his son the prince in marriage. The all male society reproduces (male children only) by giving birth from the thigh or by growing a child from a plant produced by planting the left testicle in the moon's soil.Ref: Dynes, Johansson, Percy & Donaldson, Pg. 752, "Science Fiction".

Is there any criticism of the quality of the prose that could be included? I also wonder about criticism of the plot, i.e. is the prose structured to satirize typical myth prose? Or is the pace similar to the stories it is criticizing or does it also satirize that by make it extreme? Is it regarded as well written or more as significant because of the SF nature? 018 (talk) 22:32, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that three different English titles are used on this page.
"A True Story" seems to presently be the primary or preferred title used in this article.
"True Stories" is used later on, twice. Was this section copied from somewhere?
"True History" is used last of all, but within a quotation.
Are these alternate titles valid, or merely machine translations of the Greek or Latin title? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 52.119.122.118 (talk) 18:57, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
