The Hungarian title I chose for this one is “Ördög Fiókái” which translates as “The devil’s hatchlings” – I like that the devil’s offspring are referred to the same way as small birds.
Update: I was asked if the little devil hatchlings were evil... Interestingly in Hungarian mytholgy the devil is not an evil character, he is much more like the god of the underworld Hades/Pluto... infact, the word devil translates as "Guard Creature" - the guardian of corpses. His daughters are often beautiful bird-like creatures and can even be very kind, falling in love with valiant princes trapped in his realm and sometimes help them to escape, becoming their brides.
Magic! And that girl is so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteThe hatchlings are too cute to be any evil...they aren't really to evil, right? XD
