The Goat's Ears of the Emperor Trojan (original) (raw)

The Goat's Ears of the Emperor Trojan (У цара Тројана козје уши) is a South Slavic fairy tale published by Serbian author Vuk Karadžić in 1870. Andrew Lang included it in The Violet Fairy Book. It was translated from a German version of Vuk Karadžić's Serbian Fairy Tales. The tale was also translated by John Naake as The Emperor Trojan's Goat's Ears and published in Slavonic Fairy Tales. The incident appears as part of the legends of Midas in classical times, but not all of the legend appears in the fairy tale.
