What this means
A story is a group of accounts. Each carries its own source, its own cast and its own relationships, and where two disagree both stand. The texts above are works whose records say the story appears in them or is part of them; each date is the text’s own, on the source clock, never the date of the story. Account-level readings — a locator such as “Hesiod, Theogony 886–900”, with that account’s own cast and relationships — are not held yet: 0. The structured data this site imports records stories as subjects and has no equivalent of a narrative account. When accounts are added, reading one will change only the relationships that account asserts. Nothing will be deleted to make them agree.
