Tale of broom

Once upon a time, a woman who worked as a chef in kitchen in the heaven was a great chef. She could made delicious cakes which made everyone who had tasted them would never forget their taste. The king of heaven let her manage the kitchen but she was greedy and often tasted dishes before the king though that was forbidden thing. She always tried to steal food in warehouse of heaven.
Tale of broom
She fell in love with a herdsman in heaven. Herding in heaven was also miserable as in the ground so he very liked alcohol and delicious dishes after he fell in love with the woman.
About the woman, she loved him more than every thing existing. Whenever the man wanted to eat she always had no demur to take a little from king’s dishes to give him. That thing had happened few times. Something, she also led him to go in wine vault and let him drank delightfully. But that thing had never been detected.
One day, the king had a party that made she had to work hard. All dishes had to have finished before nightfall. At last, all things were ready. While she was putting dishes on tables she heard the herdsman sang. Immediately, she knew the man found her. She took a little from party dishes then gave him. She also gave him few cup of wine then she came back to cook desserts, marzipan. But after he bathed horses he thought about sweet dishes and delicious wine were in the kitchen he felt hungry. Therefore, he sneaked in the kitchen. In the dark, he grabbed a bottle of wine and gulped. That wine was so great but it made him dizzy he needed something to eat and he went toward dished was placed nearby which were radiating sweet aroma. He took them by his hands and ate until his stomach was full of food.
When soldiers took dishes came up the party all dishes was tasted that made the king was so angry. He shouted loudly that made every one be scared. The party became an unhappy party.
The woman bowed his head and admitted her fault. She and the herdsman were transformed into brooms which every day had to sweep filth in kitchen in the ground all their lives. That was worst punishment.
Long time later, they lamented that they had to work hard without rest. The king of heaven felt pity them then he let them rest three days which is three days beginning of year. Therefore, all people in Vietnam don’t use brooms in three days beginning of year (Tet holidays).

Merope - Pleiades

Merope is one of the seven Pleiades, daughters of Atlas and Pleione . Pleione, their mother, is the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys and is the protector of sailors. Merope is the faintest of the stars because she was the only of the Pleiades to have married a mortal. Her sisters had relations with gods and bore them sons, but Merope married Sisyphus and lived on the island Chios. Merope gave birth to Glaukos, Ornytion, Almus, Thersander and Sinon. The star Merope is often called the "lost Pleiad" because she was at first not seen by astronomers or charted like her sisters. One myth says that she hid her face in shame because she had an affair with a mortal man, another says she went to Hades with her husband, Sisyphus . They were the sisters of Calypso, Hyas, the Hyades , and the Hesperides. The Pleiades were nymphs in the train of Artemis , and together with the seven Hyades were called the Atlantides, Dodonides, or Nysiades, nursemaids and teachers to the infant Di...

Sisyphus

SISYPHUS, son of Aeolus, married Atlas ’s daughter Merope, the Pleiad, who bore him Glaucus , Ornytion , and Sinon, and owned a fine herd of cattle on the Isthmus of Corinth. b. Near him lived Autolycus , son of Chione , whose twin-brother Philammon was begotten by Apollo , though Autolycus himself claimed Hermes as his father. c. Now, Autolycus was a past master in theft, Hermes having given him the power of metamorphosing whatever beasts he stole, from horned to unhorned, or from black to white, and contrariwise. Thus although Sisyphus noticed that his own herds grew steadily smaller while those of Autolycus increased, he was unable at first to accuse him of theft; and therefore, one day, engraved the inside of all his cattle’s hooves with the monogram SS or, some say, with the words ‘Stolen by Autolycus’. That night Autolycus helped himself as usually and at dawn hoof-prints along the road provided Sisyphus with sufficient evidence to summon neighbours in witness of the th...

Paris And Helen

WHEN Helen, Leda’s beautiful daughter, grew to womanhood at Sparta in the palace of her foster-father Tyndareus, all the princes of Greece came with rich gifts as her suitors, or sent their kinsmen to represent them. Diomedes, fresh from his victory at Thebes, was there with Ajax, Teucer, Philoctetes, Idomeneus, Patroclus, Menestheus, and many others. Odysseus came too, but empty-handed, because he had not the least chance of success-for, even though the Dioscuri, Helen’s brothers, wanted her to marry Menestheus of Athens, she would, Odysseus knew, be given to Prince Menelaus, the richest of the Achaeans, represented by Tyndareus’s powerful son-in-law Agamemnon. b. Tyndareus sent no suitor away, but would, on the other hand, accept none of the proffered gifts; fearing that his partiality for any one prince might set the others quarrelling. Odysseus asked him one day: ‘If I tell you how to avoid a quarrel will you, in return, help me to marry Icarius’s daughter Penelope?’ ‘It...
