I've had a few since childhood, even today I still sometimes read about them. Siegfried who killed Fafnir. The sultan who got too fat. Hansel und Gretel. I have many more but posting them all would spoil the thread. Let's hear what you like.
Specific tale, I liked "The Scorpion and the Frog". In general I was more partial to the Brothers Grimm type. Been years since I thought of either but those seem to be what stuck.
I don't remember them at home either, the ones I remember were from school, English class I'd guess. Same with the old Greek gods and such. Might vary by location and time period though.
Yes, I enjoyed the bit about the proof of equilibrium algorithm. The block time of unknown is sure to produce an infinite amount of ever larger turtles..
Pied Piper of Hamelin Somebody said Gilgamesh, which is a god tier epic but I don't consider that a fairy tail. Neither is the story of Sigfried so I guess myth is included. Kinda 'World Lit 101' but lets go with: Paradise Lost Gilgamesh One Thousand and One Nights The Odyssey The Iliad Beowulf Metamorphosis The Divine Comedy Modern Epics: Ulysses Moby Dick
Oscar Wilde wrote some pretty dope fairy tales. My favorites are "The nightingale and the rose" "The fisherman and his soul" and "The remarkable rocket"
rumpelstiltskin and billy goat gruff were always my favorites. And more of a nursery, but Babes in the Woods is a good one too
