The story of Melusine strongly influenced [[Paracelsus]]'s writings on [[Elemental|elementals]] and especially his description of water spirits.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Elmes |first=Melissa Ridley |title=Melusine's Footprint: Tracing the Legacy of a Medieval Myth |publisher=Brill |year=2017 |pages=94-108}}</ref> This, in turn, inspired [[Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué]]'s [[novella]] ''Undine'' (1811), which led to adaptations and references in works such as [[Jean Giraudoux]]'s play ''[[Ondine (ballet)|Ondine]]'' (1939), [[Hans Christian Andersen]]'s fairy tale [[The Little Mermaid]] (1837), and [[Antonín Dvořák]]'s opera ''[[Rusalka (opera)|Rusalka]]'' (1901).
In a legend set in the forest of Stollenwald, a young man meets a beautiful woman named Melusina who has the lower body of a snake. If he will kiss her three times on three consecutive days, she will be freed. However, on each day she becomes more and more monstrous, until the young man flees in terror without giving her the final kisses. He later marries another girl, but the food at their wedding feast is mysteriously poisoned with serpent venom and everyone who eats it dies.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bechstein |first=Ludwig |title=Deutsches Sagenbuch |publisher=Verlag von Georg Wigand |year=1853 |location=Leipzig |pages=729-30}}</ref>
