Folk tales often contain remains of officially banned ancient myths, rites or beliefs. The present article confirms this fact on the basis of materials collected by its author in Artsakh, in 2000-2008. Consequently, it deals with different themes: initiatory metamorphosis, adoption rites, incest and Oedipal motives, lovers as brother and sister, myth of the red cow, compulsory silence of young wives, etc.
