Karagiozis or Karaghiozis
(Modern Greek: Καραγκιόζης, Turkish: Karagöz)
is a shadow puppet and fictional character of Greek folklore,
descending from the Turkish shadow puppet Karagöz and Hacivat.
He is the main character of the tales narrated
in the Turkish and Greek
shadow-puppet theatre.
Karagiozis is a poor hunchbacked Greek,
his right hand is always long, his clothes are ragged
and patched,
and his feet are always bare.
He lives in a poor cottage
(Greek: παράγκα) with his wife Aglaia and his three sons, during
the times of the Ottoman Empire.
In the scene his cottage is on the left and the Sultan's Palace (Sarayi)
on the right.
Because of his poverty, Karagiozis uses
mischievous and crude ways to find money and
feed his family.
