takes the candles from the princess's and places them on the false bride, who burns to death, while the pair escapes back to the princess's father's castle. Analysis Tale type Georgios A. Megas classified the tale as tale type AaTh 425A. In addition, Greek folktale scholars Anna Angelopoulou and Aigle Brouskou, editors of the Greek Folktale Catalogue, classified the tale as type AaTh 425A. In addition, the two folklorists follow Megas and treat subtype A as "Cupid and Psyche". The Greek folklorists follow , who, in his monograph, indexed type 425A as the "oldest" of the "Animal as Bridegroom" subtypes. In the international index, however, Megas's and Swahn's typing is indexed as type ATU 425B, "The Son of the Witch". Variants Greece Richard MacGillivray Dawkins translated a Greek variant from the island of Karpathos, with the title Moskambari. In this tale, a poor girl lives with her starving mother. One day, she eats too much of their food and her mother curses her daughter to be eaten by an ogress. A wind blows the girl's kerchief to an ogress's house, who takes her in. The ogress orders the girl to do some tasks for her son's upcoming wedding. First, she has to clean forty rooms; then, to wash the ogress's son's clothes without soap and thirdly to stuff mattresses with feathers—all tasks done with help from Moskambari ("Musk and Amber"), the ogress's son. To fulfill the third task, Moskambari advises her to go up the mountain and shout at all the birds that Moskambari is dead, and they will give their feathers.
