Another explanation of some of those myths (especially the Naveria story) is that they show usurpation of female rule by males (and/or of male rule by females) as distinct threads in history rather than as cyclical annual events. I wrote a chunky analysis of Greg's early draft of the Naveria story along these lines, and may pass this on if I can dig it out some time. It makes the position of Pelorian Sun and Moon empires look rather interesting...
