====Aspasia of Phocaea====
A second predecessor for the Cinderella character, hailing from late [[Ancient history|Antiquity]], may be Aspasia of Phocaea. Her story is told in [[Claudius Aelianus|Aelian]]'s ''Varia Storia'': lost her mother in early childhood and raised by her father, Aspasia, despite living in poverty, has dreamt of meeting a noble man. As she dozes off, the girl has a vision of a dove transforming into a woman, who instructs her on how to remove a physical imperfection and restore her own beauty. In another episode, she and other courtesans are made to attend a feast hosted by [[Persian people|Persian]] regent [[Cyrus the Younger]]. During the banquet, the Persian King sets his sights on Aspasia herself and ignores the other women.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ben-Amos

====Ċiklemfusa from Malta====
The Maltese Cinderella is named Ċiklemfusa. She is portrayed as an orphaned child in her early childhood. Before his death, her father gave her three magical objects: a chestnut, a nut and an almond. She used to work as a servant in the King's palace. Nobody ever took notice of the poor girl. One day she heard of a big ball and with the help of a magical spell turned herself into a beautiful princess. The prince fell in love with her and gave her a ring. On the following night the Prince gave her a diamond and on the third night he gave her a ring with a large gem on it. By the end of the ball Ċiklemfusa would run away hiding herself in the cellars of the Palace. She knew that the Prince was very sad about her disappearance so one day she made some krustini (typical Maltese biscuits) for him and hid the three gifts in each of them. When the Prince ate the biscuits he found the gifts he had given to the mysterious Princess and soon realized the huge mistake he had made of ignoring Ċiklemfusa because of her poor looks. They soon made marriage arrangements and she became his wife.<ref>{{cite %20Rakkont.pdf|title=Ċiklemfusa|website=Rakkonti|access-date=23 May 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i34ZwXDNn1E| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211029/i34ZwXDNn1E| archive-date=2021-10-29|title=Ċiklemfusa|website=Filmat mill-Aġenzija tal-Litteriżmu| date=February 2019|access-date=23 May 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/bitstream/123456789/44340/1/Book_review_The_Maltese_Cindirella_and_the_Women%E2%80%99s_Storytelling_Tradition_2019.pdf|title= Book Review: The Maltese Cinderella and the Women's Storytelling Tradition (Veronica Veen)|journal=The Gozo Observer|number=39|date=2019|first=Anton F.|last=Attard}}</ref>

International versions lack the fairy godmother present in the famous Perrault's tale. Instead, the [[Donor (fairy tale)|donor]] is her mother, incarnated into an animal (if she is dead) or transformed into a cow (if alive). In other versions, the helper is an animal, such as a cow, a bull, a pike, or a saint or angel.<ref>Garner, Emelyn Elizabeth. ''Folklore From the Schoharie Hills, New York''. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan press, 1937. p. 130.</ref> The bovine helper appears in some Greek versions, in "the [[Balkan]]-Slavonic tradition of the tale", and in some Central Asian variants. The mother-as-cow is killed by the heroine's sisters, her bones gathered and from her grave the heroine gets the wonderful dresses.<ref>Kaplanoglou, Marianthi.

[[African studies|Africanist]] [[Sigrid Schmidt]] stated that "a typical scene" in Kapmalaien ([[Cape Malays]]) tales is the mother becoming a fish, being eaten in fish form, the daughter burying her bones and a tree sprouting from her grave.<ref>
Professor Gražina Skabeikytė-Kazlauskienė recognizes that the fish, the cow, even a female dog (in other variants), these animals represent "the [heroine's] mother's legacy".<ref>Skabeikytė-Kazlauskienė, Gražina.

New York: Routledge, 2013 [2009]. p. 845. {{ISBN|9781136094347}}.</ref> In his notes to his own reconstruction, Joseph Jacobs acknowledged that the heroine's animal helper (e.g., cow or sheep) was "clearly identified with her mother", as well as the tree on Cinderella's mother's grave was connected to her.<ref>Jacobs, Joseph.
