In Once, Nimue has no connection to lakes, but there still remains two ladies of the lake: the Siren of Lake Nostos, based off of Greek Mythology. And Lancelot's mother who was first mentioned in "Lady Of The Lake". Lancelot's unnamed mother raised him by the shores of a lake. I hear you ... I just dont remember reading about 2 Ladys of the Lake in Camelot. Maybe Im just forgetting as I am a big fan of all the Camelot stories. In the movie if I remember correctly Merlins lover was a nun who's face was burnt. I'm familiar with the Siren of the Lake from greek mythlogy, the only thing is in OUAT this wasnt in Greece or in the greek mythology times, its was in the Enchanted KIngom around the 13 hundreds. The way they spin this stuff cracks me up. LOL

That was some great information you posted, Edward. Thaanks Actually, it was in the 1970's at the earliest. ;) It's been shown the EF and LWM are contemporary (existing in the same time as each other), and time moves at the same rate in both lands (the missing year being a year in both lands). I think he's saying the time period setting of EF appears to be around the 1300's, and thus is not ancient Greece's time period. At any rate, it doesn't matter because the stories are all put in the same place, so the time period is all going to be one place as well.
