The Little Monk of Mystras, signed by Maria Momferatou and published in installments in the magazine Paidiki Zoi (1927-1931), is the story of a young orphan boy who is entrusted by his Armatoles grandfather to the loving care of two nuns, in the monastery of Pantanassa in Mystras. This story unfolds from the dawn of the Revolution until the day Otto disembarks in Nafplio. By following the life of the child who grows up dressed in the robe of the monk, the young and adult reader alike gets a taste of what Mystras was like during the Frankish rule and the Palaiologos era, as well as during the Ottoman rule, before witnessing, often breathlessly, Ibrahim's invasion of the Peloponnese, meeting Dimitrios Ypsilantis in the Battle of Mills, or hearing the cannon fire in the Battle of Navarino. In the background, there is a boy who grows into a man and encounters warriors before receiving the help of the philhellene German professor Muller, in order to study in Munich and return on the same ship that brings the first king of Greece to Nafplio, to serve his homeland.
