1981

Fehérlófia (lit. The Son of the White Horse or The Son of the White Mare) is a Hungarian folk tale published by László Arany (hu) in Eredei Népmesék (1862). Its main character is a youth named Fehérlófia, a "Hungarian folk hero".

The tale is classified in the Aarne–Thompson–Uther Index as tale type ATU 301, "The Three Stolen Princesses". However, the Hungarian National Catalogue of Folktales classifies the tale as MNK 301B.

It was, it was not, a white mare that nurses its own human child for fourteen years, until he is strong enough to uproot a tree. The mare dies and the boy departs to see the world. He wrestles with three other equally strong individuals: Fanyüvő, Kőmorzsoló and Vasgyúró. The three strike a friendship and move to a hut in the forest. They set an arrangement: one should stay in the hut and cook the food while the others hunt.
