The 1904 entry on the Lithuania page refers to Basanavičius’s folktale collection. Gražina Kadžytė reads the Eglė variants from the collection alongside Salomėja Nėris’s poem. The comparison shows what happens when oral tellings are gathered in a book and when a poet builds the story in her own verse.
