Summary/Abstract: The present study brings to the fore the use and the symbolism of the magical objects in the Romanian fantastic tale. These are items without which the hero would fail in his proposed desire, whatever that may be. Therefore, I analyzed the different situations found in the Romanian traditional epic, with the juxtaposition of the classical mythological sources, just to emphasize and/or highlight the route taken by these mythological motives.
