Eglė the Queen of Serpents
Eglė the Queen of Serpents, alternatively Eglė the Queen of Grass Snakes ((リトアニア語:Eglė žalčių karalienė)), is a Lithuanian folk tale.
==Details==
''Eglė the Queen of Serpents'' is considered one of the most archaic and best-known Lithuanian fairy tales and the richest in references of Baltic mythology. Over a hundred slightly diverging versions of the plot have been collected. Its multi-layered mythological background has been an interest of Lithuanian and foreign researchers of Indo-European mythology; Gintaras Beresnevičius considered it being a Lithuanian theogonic myth. Interestingly, the tale features not only human–reptile shapeshifting, but an irreversible human–tree shapeshifting as well.
''Eglė'' is both a popular female name in Lithuania and also a noun meaning ''spruce'' (''Picea''). The serpents (''žaltys'') of the tale are grass snakes in Lithuanian, but because they inhabit the sea, the word may mean a mythical water snake.
