Trivia: The earliest version of the Cinderella fairy tale was from what culture?

French
Dutch
Greek
German

The correct answer is Greek

So why is this answer correct? : While there are anywhere between 350 to 1500 variations on the Cinderella story, the first recorded one dates back to the first century BCE. “Rhodopis and Her Little Gilded Sandals” is about a Greek slave girl who winds up marrying the king of Egypt. About 1700 years later, Charles Perrault would pen the most famous version by adding the pumpkin carriage, helpful animals, and turning the slippers to glass.
