Summary/Abstract: The most popular song of Momchil belongs to the heroic epos, but has kept the features of the myth-ritualistic complex, which also turns it in a ballad. All of the more important characters (the hero, his wife and sister) are situated in the epic Periphery, but they are rather in a “strong position“ only in their relation with the Center (Tsarevgrad) and the figure of the Tzar.
