<P> The oldest known version of the Cinderella story is the ancient Greek story of Rhodopis , a Greek courtesan living in the colony of Naucratis in Egypt , whose name means `` Rosy - Cheeks '' . The story is first recorded by the Greek geographer Strabo in his Geographica ( book 17 , 33 ) , probably written around 7 BC or thereabouts : </P>
