poor fisherman wants to marry his three daughters to suitable suitors. A cafezi advises him to pray to God and to cast his net in the sea. He marries his two elder daughters. When it is the youngest's turn, he catches a lobster in his net and gives it to his daughter as her husband. At first, the girl is sad, but the lobster reveals he is a prince and that the lobster is his ship ("kanani" in Modern Greek, similar to "kananida", a kind of lobster). He warns her not to tell anything to her family. One day, she visits her family and watches over the lobster skin. Meanwhile, she sees outside their house a prince (her husband) appear three times, each on a more splendid horse and garments than the later. On the third time he visits, she tells her family the prince is her lobster husband, and he disappears. She then wears three leather dresses, and three pairs of boots with iron soles, and goes on a quest for him. She meets three ogresses on the way, who help her and indicate the way to Melidoni. She meets a disguised Melidoni, who asks her for a kiss. She refuses and he turns her into a button, promising to take her to his mother. Once there, Melidoni changes her back and presents her to his mother. The ogress mother tells her to sweep and not sweep the floor of 40 rooms, to cook and not cook the meat for the ogress, and to fetch yeast from the house of the ogress's sister. She accomplishes it all with her husband's guidance. Melidoni's mother betroths him to another bride and tells the girl to fill many mattresses with feathers, to make a donkey dance, to feed the dog, and to bring back a loaf of bread untouched. Finally, on the wedding day, the girl is forced to hold torches, bearing the pain of their burning, and—as her husband instructed the night before—throws them at the bride. They escape back to her father's house. W. R. Paton collected another tale from Lesbos from informant Melsini Chistelli. In this tale, named The Eagle, a princess lives her life in a glass chamber. One day, she plays with a ball and breaks the walls of the glass chamber. An eagle flies in and kisses her. The princess goes after the bird and reaches
