Summary/Abstract: Bearing in mind the historical and cultural context of the development of the Greek ethographic short story, in our study we focus on the analysis of the fictional relationship between Christians and Muslims in the multicultural Thrace of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We undertake an interdisciplinary approach, where the principles of Literary Imagology intersect with folklore research. We concentrate on short stories by G. M. Vizyenos, Ar. P. Kourtidis and Polydoros Papachristodoulou, where the fictional heroes act in the region of Eastern Thrace and experience directly the interaction of Christian and Muslim religious customs and rituals.
