Apples appear in many religious traditions, often as a mystical or forbidden fruit. One of the problems identifying apples in religion, mythology and folktales is that as late as the 17th century, the word "apple" was used as a generic term for all (foreign) fruit other than berries, but including nuts. This term may even have extended to plant galls, as they were thought to be of plant origin (see oak apple). For instance, when tomatoes were introduced into Europe, they were called "love apples". In one Old English work, cucumbers are called eorþæppla (lit. "earth-apples'), just as in French, Dutch, Hebrew, Afrikaans, Persian and Swiss German as well as several other German dialects, the words for potatoes mean "earth-apples". In some languages, oranges are called "golden apples" or "Chin

  • شجرة التفاح (بالإنجليزية: Apple Tree)‏ شجرة فاكهة شائعة في أساطير العالم، والتراث الشعبي، وهي ترمز إلى الخصب والحب، ففي التراث الشعبي المسيحي كثيرا ما يقال إن الشجرة التي أكل منها آدم وحواء كانت شجرة تفاح، رغم أن نوع الشجرة لم يرد في سفر التكوين. ويذهب Thomas Otway في مسرحيته «اليتيم» إلى أن حواء من أجل تفاحة أدانت البشر!

  • La mela è un falso frutto che, per le sue caratteristiche, ha colpito e stimolato l'immaginario umano, entrando nel folklore e nella mitologia di vari popoli. È spesso legato al tema del peccato originale, ma anche delle gioie ultraterrene, del dominio sul mondo, assumendo talvolta anche una valenza erotica. Tra le simbologie più note, si ricordano la mela mangiata da Adamo ed Eva (sebbene l'identificazione del frutto sia controversa), il "pomo della discordia" che avrebbe dato origine alla guerra di Troia dopo il giudizio di Paride, i "pomi delle Esperidi" custodite da un drago in un giardino ai confini del mondo, le mele mistiche che danno il nome ad Avalon ("Isola delle Mele"), la mela avvelenata offerta dalla matrigna a Biancaneve e quella posta da Guglielmo Tell sulla testa del propri (it)
