Avevo, tempo addietro, cercato di dare una spiegazione a questo inghippo: infatti è facile notare questa "duplicità" di madri imputate a Mordred.
Se riesco a venire a capo della mia vecchia, ormai, ricerca, più che volentieri la pubblicherò, magari corredata di un elenco in cui viene menzionato il ruolo di Morgana come madre naturale di Mordred.
A tal proposito (ricerca veloce veloce) pubblico qui un piccolo stralcio in merito a questa questione, trovata velocemente su wikipedia.com
Later interpretations
The stereotypical image of Morgan is often that of a villainess: a seductive, megalomaniacal sorceress who wishes to overthrow Arthur. Contemporary interpretations of the Arthurian myth sometimes assign to Morgan the role of seducing Arthur and giving birth to the wicked Mordred, though traditionally Mordred's mother was Morgause, another sister. In these works Mordred is often her pawn, used to bring about the end of the Arthurian age. Starting in the later 20th century, however, some feminists adopted Morgan as a representation of female power or of a fading form of feminine spirituality supposedly practiced by the Celts or earlier peoples.These interpretations draw upon the French romances which portray Morgan as a "benevolent figure" with extraordinary healing powers. This has led to Morgan's expanded role in feminist Arthurian literature such as Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon, which goes so far as to give her credit for the major events of the traditional story
