Η περιπετειώδης και ερωτική μυθιστορία του Πέτρου και της Μαργαριτούλας (σερ Πέρου(Ε)μπέριου(Ι)μπέριου και Μαργαρόνας) είναι ένα δημοφιλέστατο υστερομεσαιωνικό και αναγεννησιακό μεσογειακό λογοτέχνημα που, μέσω των δυτικοευρωπαϊκών εκδοχών του, γοήτευσε ευρωπαϊκούς λαούς, λογίους μα και καλλιτέχνες ώς και τον 20ό αιώνα (Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Ludwig Tieck, Brahms). Πρωταγωνιστές του δύο πανέμορφοι, γενναιότατοι, μορφωμένοι, χαρισματικοί και, προπαντός, ατίθασοι, τολμηροί, εφευρετικοί και αντισυμβατικοί, στην αρχή, νεαροί ηγεμονόπαιδες, που ωριμάζουν μέσα από συνεχόμενες δοκιμασίες της ξεροκεφαλιάς όσο και της Τύχης/Μοίρας τους, και στο τέλος θριαμβεύουν χάρη στην αισθηματική σταθερότητα, την ευσέβεια, τα καλά έργα τους μα και τη θεία Χάρη.

The initiatory character of Greek folk songs, especially of the ballads (paraloges), is an extended and spread out phenomenon. This study deals with songs that are of an initiatory nature par excellence, and in which one finds traces of main initiatory myths, such as the myth of the struggle with the monster, the myth of the heroic and initially victorious struggle with numerous enemies, the fury for war, the swallowing by the monster and the related theme of sinking into the sea, or of myths concerning the adolescent and marital initiation, perilous journeys and crossings, initiatory teaching, as well as the myth of the temporary initiatory death, shared by most of the songs.
