ATU 510A; from Egypt. A web version of this tale does not exist due to copyright restrictions.

Originally collected and published in a French language collection of tales, Contes Populaires Inédits de la Vallée du Nil by S. E. Yacoub Artin Pacha, “Le Pot Enchanté” was appropriated and embellished by J. C. Mardrus for his translation of Les Mille et Une Nuits (1899-1904). Mardrus’ version of The Arabian Nights was a commercial success and was translated into English by Powys Mathers in 1923. Scholars now dismiss Mardrus’ Arabian Nights as inaccurate and fanciful although some admit that the stories, while not authentic Arabian Nights tales, are beautifully told.

Through this appropriation, the tale known as “The Anklet” in Mathers’ translation, is commonly known as an Arabian Nights Cinderella. The tale, while collected in Egypt, was not from any Arabian Nights manuscripts and is thus erroneously identified as such. The Mardrus/Mathers version changes the tale’s lost bracelet to an anklet, drawing inspiration from the tale’s footnote stating that anklet versions of the tale exist. Mardrus also added details that enchanced the Cinderella elements, such as identifying the sisters as stepsisters. The following is a new English translation of the original tale from Contes Populaires Inédits de la Vallée du Nil. For comparison, an English language translation of the Mardrus/Mathers version can be found in A Thousand and One Nights, Vol. 4, published by Routledge.

Other adaptations of this tale include a retelling by Naomi Lewis in Stories from the Arabian Nights (1987) and a picture book, The Persian Cinderella by Shirley Climo (1999). Both of these versions identify the tale as an Arabian Nights story.

ATU 510A; from Egypt. You can read one version at Rhodopis and Her Little Gilded Sandals. Several versions of the tale are shared inCinderella Tales From Around the World.

Rhodopis, an Egyptian tale, is popularly labeled the earliest or first Cinderella story. The tale was first recorded by the Greek historian Strabo in the first century BC/AD and is generally considered to be loosely based upon a real person written about by Herodotus five hundred years before Strabo’s time. Rhodopis also appeared in Aelian’s Varia Historia (13.33) around the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The tale was popularized as an Egyptian Cinderella during the 19th century with several literary retellings.
