Mr Simigdáli ("The Gentleman Made of Groats", in Max Lüthi's translation)[1] is a Greek fairy tale, collected by Irene Naumann-Mavrogordato in Es war einmal: Neugriechische Volksmärchen.[2] Georgios A. Megas collected a variant Master Semolina in Folktales of Greece.[3] There are about forty known Greek variants on the fairy tale of baking a figure and having it brought to life.[4] It is Aarne-Thompson type 425, the search for the lost bridegroom, in an unusual variation, involving motifs similar to Pygmalion and Galatea.[5]
