Actually many of them are.... religious parables. When the christians finally took over and began burning books in an effort to bring about the Dark ages....which many of them want to do again....pagans often hid their wisdom in fairy tales.

Usually a Prophet claims to have received a revelation from God. The Brothers Grimm did not. They also prophecy about something or give a religious code. The Brothers Grimm did not. Prophets tend to be persecuted, etc....

The Grimm brothers collected many of their stories from a Huguenot lady whose family had settled near Bad Karlshafen in Germany . Many of the stories are allegorical and convey Christian values. Doesn't have anything to do with prophets.

Any man on earth could be considered a prophet. Now if it were the sisters grimm, they would be considered witches, and burned at the stake.

I am not aware of any prophecies they made, but yes, a good many of their stories could be considered parables I suppose.

Everything written has been influenced by the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is wisdom. The Grimm's Brothers' fairy tales had to have been influenced by the Bible because when they were written many people knew the Bible.
