The Goat Girl

The Goat Girl is a Greek fairy tale, known in many variants, collected by Anna Angelopoulou, Johann Gottfried von Hahn, and Georgios Ioannou.

One day, she gave birth to a baby goat who grew up as playful as any child.

The goat girl changed into a golden gown and went to the wedding herself; after the ceremonial dance, she threw a golden apple among the guests to confuse them and fled, and the king and queen admired her beauty.

On the third day, the prince ordered his servants to preheat an oven and told his parents he would not attend the wedding.

When she returned, she tried to throw herself into the oven after the skin, but the prince restrained her, and afterwards they had a grand wedding.
