built 639 days ago
The ancient Greco-Egyptian version of Cinderella where her name is Rhodopis is considered the oldest version of the story.[2] The tale was first recorded by the Greek historian Strabo in the first century BC. Rhodopis washes her clothes in an Egyptian stream, a task forced upon her by fellow servants, who have left to go to a function sponsored by the Pharaoh. A bird takes her rose-gilded slipper and drops it into Pharaoh's lap; he then asks the women of his kingdom to try on the slipper to see which one fits. Rhodopis succeeds.

In France the Cinderella story became a mainstay of spectacular féeries in which dance and magical effects played an important part. It was seen at the Châtelet in Paris and it was this style of production that influenced the first films of the story. George Méliès made two fantasy films of the fairy tale, the first in 1899, rich in images of the passing of time and pretty girls posing with clocks. It is notable as one of the first multi-reel narratives. Previously films showed a single incident on one reel.

Due to the overwhelming significance of store data to Cinderella’s business, Gustilo’s group makes it a point to ensure its 100% accuracy. So when Cinderella invested on a new point-of-sale system to give the company better flexibility, improved speed, and better data mining, Gustilo wanted to totally eliminate manual intervention in transferring store data daily to the head office.

Like many folk tales, the origins of Cinderella can be traced back centuries and individual elements of the story can be found in almost every culture of the world. Told by bards and entertainers from the ancient world, the story has passed from culture to culture and age to age. With each transition it has been altered, embellished and reworked to make it more immediate to its audience. It is impossible to know the exact number of tales (some are replicas of each other, while others have changed so much they are barely recognizable), but it has been estimated there are at least 1,500 variations on the theme of Cinderella worldwide.
