Truong Ba's soul inside butcher's body
“Although De Thich was here he also can not help you to win this match” said Trương Ba.
Meanwhile De Thich, chess god, was sitting on heaven had heard the insolent words. He mounted on a cloud, flew down and planed to let him know he was too arrogant.

Truong Ba felt unhappy he wondered who the old man was. He looked the old man more closely the old man had white beard and hair, rosy face and looked not like human. Truong Ba keeled down immediately.

“It is you, De Thich. I am so insolent to not recognize you.”, he said.
De Thich laughed and said: “I heard you are a master of chess so I want to know how much you can do.”
Truong Ba kept De Thich in his house. He bought wine and chicken to treat him. De Thich though he had just met Truong Ba very liked him.
Truong Ba asked to study De Thich’s chess moves. De Thich seemed to felt his sincerity he sad: “I gifted you the joss sticks. If you need my help, fire a joss stick, I will come.”
Then he mounted the cloud and flew up.

One day, Truong Ba was taken suddenly by the Death. His wife, after burying him, cleaned their house and saw the joss sticks. She fired them and stuck them on her husband’s altar. De Thich appeared immediately
“Where is Truong Ba”, he said.
 The wife burst into sobs and said: “My husband has died for a month.”

While people in the butcher’s house were crying the butcher suddenly woke up. He stood up then went straight to Truong Ba’s house without a word. When Truong Ba’s wife saw the butcher she realized immediately that her husband revived because of magic. She was happy to let him go in but the wife of butcher sprinted to pull him back. A violent argument happened. Then all of them pulled together themselves to court.
The judge called people to ask. All of them said that the person who revived was the butcher but Truong Ba’ wife said surely that was her husband, Truong Ba.
 “What does your husband do everyday?”, asked the judge toTruong Ba’s wife.
“He plays chess.”, answered the wife.
The judge turned to the butcher’s wife, asked: “What does your husband do?”
“He is a butcher.” Said the butcher’s wife.
The judge ordered soldiers to take a pig for the butcher but he didn’t know to do anything. Then, the judge called some chess masters to come. The butcher could win easily. The judge decided the butcher could go to Truong Ba’s house.

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.

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...

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...
