Description
Summary:The medieval legend about King Solomon and a sparrow showing off to his wife has inspired several authors throughout the centuries and undergone a variety of transformations. The different retellings show an increasingly misogynist tendency reaching its peak in Randall Thompson’s 1942 opera "Solomon and Balkis", which is based on Rudyard Kipling’s story "The Butterfly that Stamped" of 1902. The 21st century cartoon adaptation by Craig Handley (German version by Charles Rettinghaus) aims for political correctness but remains unsatisfactory.
