The ogress returned, her daughter did not answer, and the mortar, which the prince and Anthousa, Xanthousa, Chrisomalousa had forgotten, told her that they had fled.
[6] Swiss folktale scholar Max Lüthi also concluded that the episode of the magical flight, typical of tale type ATU 313, "The Magical Flight" ("Girl Helps the Hero Flee"; "The Devil's Daughter"), is indeed a component of tale type ATU 310, "The Maiden in the Tower", although it is absent in Rapunzel.
[7] In the same vein, scholar Ton Deker remarked that "in oral versions" the heroine and the prince escape from the tower through the "Magic Flight" sequence.
[9] In addition, the establishers of the Spanish Folktale Catalogue, scholars Julio Camarena [es] and Maxime Chevalier, created a new subtype in the Spanish Catalogue: type 310B, "La doncella en la torre escapa mediante fuga mágica" (English: "The Maiden in the Tower escapes by Magic Flight"), a combination of "Maiden in the Tower" with the closing episode of the Magic Flight.
[10] In this regard, scholars Josep A. Grimalt [ca] and Jaume Guiscafrè argue that this combination could represent either a Romance or Mediterranean subtype.
[12] According to Walter Puchner, in The Forgotten Fiancée subtype, it is "particularly common" in Mediterranean variants for the heroine to release doves to the prince's palace to remind him.
The tale continues with The Magic Flight sequence: the titular Filagranata gives the prince three items for them to use to distract the witch: a mason's trowel, a comb and a jar of oil.
[15] In a tale collected by Bulgarian folklorist Kuzman Shapkarev from Ohrid, modern day North Macedonia, "МОМА ТЕНТЕЛИНА И ВОЛЦИ" ("Girl Tentelina and the Wolf"), a pregnant woman gets lost in the swamp and a wolf appears to help her, as long as he gets her daughter as payment.
At the end of the tale, after he is helped by three old ladies, he and Tentelina escape from the tower by throwing magic objects to delay the wolf.
