Eglė the Queen of Serpents is a popular legend in the coastal town of Palanga, Lithuania. According to the legend, Eglė was a beautiful young woman who fell in love with a serpent. Despite the objections of her family, Eglė married the serpent and they lived happily together in a palace made of amber.
However, one day Eglė's brothers came to visit and were horrified to find their sister living with a serpent. They killed the serpent and Eglė was left alone and heartbroken. In her grief, she turned into a serpent herself and became the Queen of all the serpents in the forest.
Today, visitors to Palanga can see a statue of Eglė the Queen of Serpents in the town's botanical park. The statue depicts Eglė as a beautiful young woman holding a serpent in her arms. The park is also home to many species of snakes, including the common European adder, which is said to be a descendant of Eglė's serpent husband.
The legend of Eglė the Queen of Serpents is an important part of Palanga's cultural heritage and is celebrated each year with a festival in her honor. The festival includes music, dance, and traditional Lithuanian food, as well as a parade featuring a giant serpent puppet. Visitors to Palanga can also explore the town's many museums and galleries, which showcase the region's rich history and art.
