[2.2] ii. Von Hahn, 259 (variant of Story No. 64).
[3.1] ii. Von Hahn, 262.
[3.2] Von Wlislocki, Armenier, 3 (Story No. 2).
[4.1] MacInnes, 279 (Story No. 8).
[4.2] i. Campbell, 97.
[6.1] Curtin, Ireland, 157; Larminie, 196; i. F.L. Journ., 54; vi. Folklore, 309. In Larminie’s version, however, a new series of adventures follows the marriage.
[7.1] Sébillot, in ix. Rev. Trad. Pop., 280; Luzel, ii. Contes Pop., 296.
[7.2] Webster, 22. The story belongs to the Outcast Child group (see iv. F.L. Journ., 308); and the hero’s reconciliation with his father takes place at the wedding.
[8.1] Webster, 33.
[9.1] Vinson, 56.
[9.2] Wolf, Deutsche Hausm., 369.
[10.1] Suprà, vol. i. p. 65.
[11.1] Dasent, Fjeld, 261, from Asbjörnsen. The story is defective.
[11.2] Edwards, Bahama, 90. This story likewise is the worse for wear.
[12.1] Romero, 129 (Story No. 38).
[14.1] Burton, iv. Suppl. Nights, 258.
[14.2] Burton, iv. Suppl. Nights, 244, cited suprà, vol. i. p. 54.
[15.1] Douglas, 58.
[16.1] Von Wlislocki, Volksdicht., 323 (Story No. 55). In savage tales the attack on a monster from the inside is not very uncommon. See, for example, Riggs, Dakota Grammar, 91, 141; Edwards, Bahama, 72. The Quères Pueblos relate that the Coyote swallowed the Horned Toad. After being swallowed, the latter erected its spines, and so killed the Coyote. Lummis, 86. Cf. the story of the Lambton Worm (Henderson, 288), the tale from Galloway given by Mr. Andrew Lang in the Academy, October 1885, the classic Saga of Kleostratos (infra, [p. 37]), and others.
[18.1] Schleicher, 54. Compare a tale from Oldenburg, ii. Strackerjan, 333 (variant of Story No. 630).
[18.2] Pitrè, Toscane, 9 (Story No. 2); F.L. Andaluz, 357; Romero, 83 (Story No. 23).
[18.3] De Gubernatis, ii. Zool. Myth., 36, note.
[19.1] Waldau, 468; Haltrich, 101 (Story No. 25).
[20.1] Bernoni, Fiabe, 50 (Story No. 10). We hear no more of the ring; and the lady plays no part in the final scene.
[20.2] i. Gonzenbach, 299 (Story No. 44).
[21.1] Wardrop, 68 (Story No. 12).
[23.1] Burton, vi. Suppl. Nights, 363.
[24.1] Carnoy et Nicolaides, 75; Garnett, i. Wom., 165. A shorter version in Georgeakis, 35. Substantially the same story is found in the island of Syra, in the Cyclades. ii. Von Hahn, 49 (Story No. 70).
[24.2] i. Cosquin, 18, 74, citing Schiefner.
[25.1] De Rochemonteix, 25 (Story No. 3).
[25.2] Schott, 135 (Story No. 10). In a Lithuanian variant the maiden sacrificed to the dragon is confounded with one of the princesses carried captive by a dragon into the well. Leskien, 407.
[26.1] Sébillot, i. Contes Pop., 72 (Story No. 11); ii. Rivista, 109. Two Breton variants, also collected by M. Sébillot, ix. Rev. Trad. Pop., 172, 173.
[26.2] ii. Strackerjan, 330 (Story No. 630).
[27.1] Dasent, Fjeld, 237, from Asbjörnsen.
[28.1] Von Wlislocki, Volksdicht., 198 (Story No. 13). As to the Keshalyi’s hairs, see suprà, vol. i., pp. 124, 155.
[29.1] Von Wlislocki, Volksdicht., 260 (Story No. 34). Compare the classical legend of Tiresias. In the Hindu mythology, the daughter of Manu changed her sex several times. So did Loki in the Scandinavian mythology. Change of sex is also, as I need hardly remind the reader, found in several classical stories.
[29.2] Dozon, 109 (Story No. 14).
[30.1] Steel and Temple, 138.
[30.2] Ibid., 304.
[31.1] Siddhi-Kür, 60 (Story No. 2). Miss Busk gives a free rendering, Sagas, 18.
[31.2] Hatim Taï, 45.
[32.1] V. Bettei, in xiii. Archivio, 543, translating the story. The incident of binding the dragon, whether by an oath or a more substantial bond, is of extreme rarity in märchen, but is by no means uncommon in sagas, as we shall find in the next chapter. See, however, the Greek märchen cited suprà, [p. 3]; and a Russian tale, viii. Rev. Trad. Pop., 69.
[33.1] Dorsey, Cegiha, 114. The other version follows it.
[35.1] Leland, Etr. Rom., 109.
