Abstract

The text refers to a contemporary, questionable edition of folk tales from Edessa. After a brief historical review of
similar publications as well as the persecution of the speakers of the Macedonian language in Greece, the silencing
of the original language of the fairy tales is recorded and through this the adverse (self)censorship of the publishers
some years after the Prespa Agreement.
