    @CFoix An interesting topic! I often wonder how far some of these tales date back - some seem to be fairly new inventions, while you get the feeling with others that they have an ancient origin.

    I am curious - do you know of any tales of “snake kings” or “snake queens” wearing golden crowns from outside of Europe? Because such stories are really widespread in Germany, yet also seem out of place when compared to other animal tales.
