European fairy-tales?

[edit]

Would some European fairy-tales be relevant? Snow-White, e.g., includes both a poisoned comb and a suffocatingly tight bodice (or similar, details vary between versions). While neither of these are a perfect match with the literal expression "Poison dress", they do work according to the same principle. Further, from a layman's POV, it seems quite possible that these story-elements were influenced by the cited story of Medea. 94.220.254.21 (talk) 18:08, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It really has to be a poison dress or a published view that links it with snow white. Wikipedia has a rule against including "POV's" as we may get a lot of wild stuff. Victuallers (talk) 19:01, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
