High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Rhodopis" is the original ancient version of the "Cinderella" story. First recorded in the first century B.C. by the Greek historian Strabo, it is considered to be the oldest Cinderella story. Rhodopis (the "rosy-cheeked"), a Greek slave, works in the household of her Egyptian master. Though kind, her elderly master spends most of his time sleeping, and is therefore unaware of her harsh treatment at the hands of his other servant girls. Because Rhodopis is both fair-complexioned and a foreign slave, the other servants tease her and order her around. After her master sees Rhodopis dancing skillfully by herself, he gives her a pair of rose-gilded slippers. The other servants resent this treatment and use Rhodopis more harshly than before.
