One of the biggest inaccuracies is the appearance of the Hindu goddess Kali in an Arabian tale—an unforgettable scene, but completely out of place. Add Greek creatures like the…

Visser emphasizes that her daughter nurses voluntarily, briefly, and for comfort—showing that this practice isn’t about dependency, but about meeting developmental needs in a…
