Abstract

In the wake of the cliché phrase “and they lived happily ever after,” Snow White and the Prince become a typical middle-class married couple of the 1970s in Edo Lilipoupoli, a children’s daily radio broadcast. The essay connects this satirical fairy-tale adaptation with Greek jocular stories that focus on marriage and stubbornness, and it analyzes one episode’s narrative, musical, and verbal elements, aiming to highlight the scriptwriters’ feminist perspective on the status of women at the time.
