- The evil queen, Disney's Snow White, 1937
Disney's version of Snow White may be the most universally known, but the story itself is much older. The German fairy tale was first published by the Brothers Grimm in 1812.
Some experts believe it was based on the real life story of Margaretha von Waldeck, a German countess born in 1533.
She was forced by her stepmother to move away, fell in love with the prince of Spain, and was poisoned by those who opposed the relationship. Another theory is that Snow White is based on a baroness born in 1725.
Another inspiration may have been the Roman legend of Chione, recorded by the poet Ovid. "Chione" means "snow" in Greek.
In the legend, two gods fell in love with Chione. She was approached by one dressed as an old person, put to sleep by another, and killed by a goddess after boasting that she was more beautiful than she.
