Like that one about a girl eating an apple and brushing her hair in front of a mirror to see her husband, I've never heard that before, and is another interesting similarity to Snow White!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097525403940409218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968132365438511409.post-39773514121717946892016-02-29T07:30:14.910-06:002016-02-29T07:30:14.910-06:00Also, this article about mirror folklore might int...Also, this article about mirror folklore might interest you: http://weekinweird.com/2012/08/27/time-reflection-mirrors-folklore-superstition/Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311936206951108530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968132365438511409.post-89172405441899772302016-02-29T07:29:17.767-06:002016-02-29T07:29:17.767-06:00I didn't realise mirrors had such a grand hist...I didn't realise mirrors had such a grand history! Now I really want to write a story about a family of mirror makers haha! I also have not encountered any version of Snow White where the Queen asks for animals to judge her beauty, but that does make a lot of sense (except for the trout, as you point out. Unless it's a stuffed trout ;) ) In The Snow Queen, some versions have ice instead of mirror. It's interesting that having a mirror suddenly loads the story with these ideas about wealth and beauty, whereas with ice it's just cold. I love how details like that can alter the whole interpretation of a fairy tale.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311936206951108530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968132365438511409.post-91480012011452633902016-02-27T09:56:37.751-06:002016-02-27T09:56:37.751-06:00It definitely gives a different perspective, think...It definitely gives a different perspective, thinking that people were not nearly as used to their own reflections as we are today.

There's actually a Greek version of Snow White called "Myrsina" with Jealous older sisters instead of a Stepmother, the Sun instead of a mirror, and the anthropomorphic personified 12 Months instead of seven dwarfs. Also, instead of a poisoned apple, the jealous Sisters use a cursed ring that they claimed belonged to their mother, thus compelling Myrsina to put on the ring in honor of her deceased mother. A similar take on the Greek Cinderella, "Little Saddle-Slut" also has selfish sisters who cannibalized their own mother but the youngest sister buries her mother's bones and it grants her wishes.
