“Do you think I am handsome?”
He was pleasant whenever people said that he was handsome. When he arrived to stalls which were stood around the festival he met a swindler who stood aside to dodge his horse. The boy stopped to ask him.
“Do you think I am handsome?”
“Handsome but this way is not the way how a noble wear”, said the swindler
“How, how can I wear as a noble?”, the boy stopped to insist the swindler, “help me, I will pay for that”.
The swindler shouted: “Get down, take off your clothes then I will teach you”.
The boy didn’t hesitate to do as the swindler said. He gave the swindler his clothes, hat, shoes and the swindler put on.
“This is how a noble wears clothes”, said the swindler.
Then he seized the rein, mounted on the horse and rode two rounds.
“This is the way how a nobles rides”, he said.
At last, he roweled the horse and rode away. The boy ran after and screamed to have people’s help but nobody believed his word because they couldn’t thought how the robber could rob his clothes before mounted on the horse and ran away.
The boy had no choice he put on the clothes which the swindler left them came to his home. His wife scolded him after hearing he said. The next morning, the wife made his husband lead her to the festival to find the swindler. She asked him: “Don’t scream though you see him. Let me handle”.
The swindler after having things from the boy was carefulness he thought that the boy couldn’t afford to regain. Therefore, he was comfortable to go back the festival with the things on his body. The wife followed the swindler as she saw him. She had prepared a golden earring and a golden bracelet. Then she stood by a well and waited for the swindler. When the swindler went cross she cried. The swindler stopped to ask her:
“Why do you cry?”
She showed him the golden earring and bracelet and said: “Alas, I lost an earring and a bracelet in the well. If my husband knows he will punish me. What should I have to now? Please, help me I will never forget your help”.
The wife was beautiful that he couldn’t refuse, besides, he thought that he could get some things from the thing so he agreed to help her. He took off the clothes and waded. The wife waited for he dived she grabbed the clothes, mounted on the horse and rode it as fast as toward her home. When the swindler emerged from water and didn’t see both clothes and horse. He had no choice but using his hand to cover his body and chased after the wife. He screamed to have people’s help but people only scolded him. Therefore, he had to shut his mouth and went straight to his home.

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...
