Tale of waiting-husband stone

Once upon a time, a couple had born two children one boy and one girl. The boy was 11 years old and his sister was 6 years old. Everyday when the couple went to farm to work they always asked the boy to take care of his sister. His mother usually added:
“Don’t make your sister cry. Your father will punish you if you do.”
Everyday, the boy and the girl played in their garden together or play with your friend around their house. Until they were bored they stopped playing to eat some sugar canes. The boy used to take a knife to cut sugar canes. 
One day, when the boy took the knife cut a sugar cane but the blade flew toward his sister’s head although the hilt was in his hand. The girl was fainting immediately, blood poured from her head. The boy was very scared he thought he had made a very serious mistake. He believed that his father would kill him. Therefore, he left his home and went away. He went to hide himself from his father’s eyes.
He passed a lot of place. Somewhere he stayed for months, made friend with somebody. Somewhere he only stayed for few days then left. He had moved for 15 years. At last, he stopped at a village standing by the sea where people were fishers. He lived with a couple who had no children so the couple kept him staying and asked him to become their son. He agreed.
Then he also got married. His wife was a person who lived at that region so she was very well in making fishing net. Every night, he went fishing then his wife brought fish to market to sell when he had come back. Their lives were very happy. After 2 years they bore a child.
It was bad day the husband stayed at home. While their chid was playing alone in the yard front theIr house he and his wife were knitting fishing nets. Suddenly he saw a scar which was on his wife’s head. Too curious he asked his wife about the scar. The wife said:
“That is 20 years ago I was a child. One day, my bother was cutting a sugar cane the blade of knife suddenly flew to my head. I was fainting immediately and my brother left because he was to scared being punished. Fortunately, that day my parent went back early so they could sprint to find doctor and save my life. Then my parent had tried to find my brother but they could find any thing. They died after short time because they were too sad. I had lived alone until robbers came robbed all things in my house and brought me to sell to a merchant. I had gone to many places until I met you.”
The wife said innocently but her husband’s cheek went red. His heart seemed to be burn. He had just realized he had married with his sister but he tried to keep silent he wanted to keep that secret.
After few days, the sea was beautiful again but something that time was waving inside the husband. He went fishing but that time he had never come back.
The wife waited and waited for husband but that was so long. All people who went with his husband had come back that made she don’t understand. Her husband in her mind was person who very loved his family. Every afternoon the wife always hugged in her hand his son climbed to top of mountain near sea to wait.
Three months passed then six months passed, nine months passed but the wife and his son never forgot to climb and stand on top of the mountain. Then they were petrified. Now day, the stone still exists on the top of mountain which was in Phu Cat, Binh Dinh, Viet Nam. It was named “Hòn Vọng Phụ” (waiting-husband stone)

Gorgon

In Greek mythology, a Gorgon  is a mythical creature portrayed in ancient Greek literature. While descriptions of Gorgons vary across Greek literature and occur in the earliest examples of Greek literature, the term commonly refers to any of three sisters who had hair made of living, venomous snakes, as well as a horrifying visage that turned those who beheld her to stone. Traditionally, while two of the Gorgons were immortal, Stheno and Euryale, their sister Medusa was not and she was slain by the demigod and hero Perseus. The large Gorgon eyes, as well as Athena 's "flashing" eyes, are symbols termed "the divine eyes" by Gimbutas (who did not originate the perception); they appear also in Athena's sacred bird, the owl. They may be represented by spirals, wheels, concentric circles, swastikas, firewheels, and other images. Anyone who would gaze into their eyes would be turned to stone instantly.

Scylla And Nisus

MINOS was the first king to control the Mediterranean Sea, which he cleared of pirates, and in Crete ruled over ninety cities. When the Athenians had murdered his son Androgeus, he decided to take vengeance on them, and sailed around the Aegean collecting ships and armed levies. Some islanders agreed to help him, some refused. Siphnos yielded to him by the Princess Arne, whom he bribed with gold; the gods changed her into a jackdaw which loves gold and all things that glitter. He made an alliance with the people of Anaphe, but rebuffed by King Aeacus of Aegina and departed, swearing revenge. Aeacus then answered an appeal from Cephalus to join the Athenians against Minos . b. Meanwhile, Minos was partying the Isthmus of Corinth. He laid siege to Nisa, ruled by Nisus the Egyptian, who had a daughter name Scylla. A tower stood in the city, built by Apollo [and Poseidon ?], an at its foot lay a musical stone which, if pebbles were dropped upon from above, rang like a lyre-because Ap...

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...
