Image question

The description page for Image:Vasnetsov samolet.jpg states that the painting comes from this story, but there is no mention of a flying carpet in the plot summary, so is this correct? Also, what does The Knight at the Crossroads have to do with this story? howcheng {chat} 17:14, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no flying carpet in the story I consulted for the synopsis (and linked in Externa links), so, either

The description confused this fairy tale with another one featuring Prince Ivan and the Firebird, both of whom are common fairy tale creatures, or
The description is referencing a variant of the tale. Alas, the description page is not sufficient to add such a variant to this page; we would need a reference.

As for the knight at the crossroads, it is depicting a common Russian fairy tale motif: a knight reading a stone to learn what can happen in each direction. It appears in this tale. Goldfritha 01:41, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. Perhaps you can look at Template:POTD/2007-03-12 to see if I have this correct then. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 05:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I looked, and it looks good to me. Goldfritha 17:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Twin Brothers

I just read this story, it seems fairly similar to The Two Brothers, but I'm not sure if it bears mention in this article. It seems that alot of Fairy-tale/folktale articles have similar references. I was thinking it should be added to the See Also section. --illumi 23:48, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It has its similarities, but its differences too. If you look at the stories already in the "See also" and the ones that have the same Aarne-Thompson type, you will see tales that are more closely related. Goldfritha 00:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Czech version

The Czech author Karel Jaromír Erben has published a version of the fairy tale in the almanac Máj, under the name Pták Ohnivák a liška Ryška (The Firebird and the Red Fox). - Mike Rosoft (talk) 22:40, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is mentioned in the more general article The Golden Bird, listing various variants of the tale. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 12:53, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
