Description
Greek folk tales have been passed down through generations in the Greek-speaking regions, weaving together stories about doughty youths and frightful monsters, resourceful maidens and animals gifted with human speech. These wondrous tales capture the temperament and ethos of the Greek folk psyche.
Medieval storytelling in the pivotal south-east Mediterranean world that linked Christianity, Islam and Byzantium has shaped these ancient narratives. The result is a rich tapestry of substantive motifs, characters and forms that continue to enchant readers today.
