Foe Yay/Oral Tradition

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Foe Yay in Oral Tradition include:

  • Thor and Loki, from Norse Mythology. Thor never seems to like Loki much from the beginning, but Loki certainly had fun getting Thor fitted for a wedding dress.
    • Who wouldn't?
    • Also, Odin and Loki. They were sworn brothers before falling out. When it comes to insults, they have a long list of humiliating anecdotes about each other, especially about "effeminacy". Odin's wife had to make them stop once.
  • Horus and Set from Egyptian Mythology, both legendary and canonical.
