		Melusina continued to extend the castle and strengthen its fortifications, till the like was not to be seen in all the country round.
		Long was it believed in France that the unfortunate Melusina appeared in the air, wailing over the ramparts of Lusignan before the death of one of its lords; and that on the extinction of the family she was seen whenever a king of France was to depart this life.
		The tale of Melusina became immensely popular in France and Germany and Spain, appearing in a score of books during the century 1478-1577, and this pretty account is perhaps best left to make its own effect, without a superfluity of comment.

	Melusina - MedPort-Lexikon
		Zu bemerken wäre noch, dass die Überlieferung der vorpatriarchalen Geschichte in Europa durch die Einwirkung von Gewalt besonders auf Frauen, die Trägerinnen und Vermittlerinnen von Kultur bei den Urvölkern waren und noch sind, während der Inquisition zerstört wurde und damit weitgehend abriss.
		Die älteren Luxemburger tradieren noch heute Melusina als ihre Stamm-Mutter, wenngleich neuerdings die Tendenz vernehmbar wird, den adeligen Mittelmoselgermanen Siegfried als Gründer von Luxemburg zu etablieren.
		Melusina war die letzte hochrangige Frau aus dem Urvolk der nachmaligen Luxemburger mit einer Geschichte von mehr als 7000 Jahren (Archäologie), die in der Erinnerung der alten Luxemburger bis heute überlebt hat und die zudem durch die patriarchale Geschichtsschreibung indirekt mit Jahreszahlen belegt ist.

		However, Forecast is transformed by his visit to Melusina's world and becomes sympathetic to her, which leads to fateful and mysterious turns of events when the cold-hearted Taft (Quentin Hayes) is dispatched by Hardwicke to Camera, charged with succeeding where Forecast failed.
		There are intriguing concepts and philosophical underpinnings to this work -- for example, did Melusina create Camera or vice versa -- and the sometimes compelling music of this modern opera is well-suited to the dramatic exposition as it unfolds (most, but not all, of the libretto is printed in the CD booklet).
		With a richer, deeper, and fuller voice than during her earlier days and, as Melusina, not asked to adopt any over-the-top mannerisms, Dagmar walks a line that would seem to appeal to both pop and art music listeners.

		Den tyske folkeboken om Melusina ble første gang trykt 1474, men allerede 1456 oversatte sveitseren Thüring von Ringoltingen historien fra fransk til tysk.
		Den tyske folkeboken hadde dog slått rot langt tidligere i den litterære tyskspråklige verden; Melusina ble trykt hele 34 ganger i årene 1474–1550, noe som gjør den til en av de aller mest populære folkebøkene i det første århundret etter at man begynte å trykke bøker med løse typer.
		Da han senere avslører hva han har sett, forvandler Melusina seg til «en stor whyrdelige Orm» og forsvinner skrikende i luften.

	"I am my own riddle"--A.S. Byatt's Christabel LaMotte: Emily Dickinson and Melusina Papers on Language and ...
		According to a reference to a specific line in Book XII of Melusina, LaMotte's epic is comparable to the length of classical epics (Byatt, Possession 80).(2) Even though Byatt has not included all twelve books of The Fairy Melusina, images of Melusina pervade the text.
		Additionally, details of the novel make clear that The Fairy Melusina had crucial significance for LaMotte because a fictive biography comments, "After Melusina she appears to have written no more poetry, and retreated further and further into voluntary silence" (42).
		Using both Dickinson and Melusina as models for LaMotte, Byatt achieves the "toughness" she sought and creates a character who is neither Dickinson nor Melusina, but a complex and unique character in her own right.

	"Possession", by A.S. Byatt
		It’s only by spying on Melusina in the bathroom that Raimondin sees his wife for what she really is: Jo-Jo the Sardine Girl.
		It later becomes clear that Maud is the modern counterpart of both Christabel LaMotte and Melusina, and Maud’s bathroom, described in green and watery images, is a reflex of Melusina’s verdant pool as depicted in LaMotte’s poem in Chapter 16.
		This bathroom provides the setting for a re-enactment of the Melusina myth, as Roland (who is Raimondin, when he’s not busy being R.H. Ash) peeks in the keyhole to see if Maud has finished her ablutions.

		Here he refers to the tale of the fairy princess Melusina, from whom the kings of Albania are said to be descended.
		As a punishment for having shut her father in a mountain, Melusina was changed into a snake from the waist down every Saturday and she could be released from this punishment only if she married a man who never saw her in serpent’s form.
		In Schroeder’s view, Melusina’s situation is very much like the crucial lamp scene where Psyche breaks the taboo against seeing the god Eros, thereby causing him to depart and thus ending her paradise of love with him.
