The Greek woman who wrote this book is from Crete, she is a teacher and author. These three conditions contributed to the creation of a similar text, written exactly as it is. Thirty years after its publication, "Parthenagogion" - a combination of theme and literary quality - remains a classic work in Greek literature, and is still referred to as a model of its genre.

If someone were to analyze "Parthenagogion," they could write a longer text than the limited number of pages it has. There would be much to say about everything that is not written, but is indicated to you. And it imposes itself. The pulse of the description, richness in the use of a vibrant language, density of style in those points where the meaning of the content is heavier, an absolute realism that manages to create a poetic atmosphere, are characteristics of the value of the work.
