Again, The Snake Bridegroom (original) (raw)

Again, The Snake Bridegroom (Serbian: Opet zmija mladoženja; German: Wieder vom Schlangenbräutigam) is a Serbian folktale collected in the 19th century by Serbian philologist Vuk Karadžić, featuring the marriage between a human maiden and a husband in serpent guise. The tale is related to the international cycle of the Animal as Bridegroom or The Search for the Lost Husband, and shares motifs with other tales of the region, like Hungarian The Serpent Prince and Romanian Trandafiru.
