Description acceptable. In a retelling of this classical myth by Madame d’Aulnoy, Laidronette is cursed by Magotine and is served by pagodas. Neoplatonist readings of this myth as a description of the union of the soul with God influenced later Christian interpreters.

(10[2]-5[1])A talking tower offers a character in this myth honey cakes which are used to distract cerberus. Apuleius’ (-5[1])The Golden Ass popularized this myth, in which a girl is convinced by her jealous sisters that her lover is a serpent and she breaks a promise to him by looking at him with an oil lamp.
