Pyramus, a handsome young man of the time, fell in love with her. After Thisbe&#8217;s initial difficulty, she finally agreed to meet him in a deserted place Thisbe went first to the meeting place and suddenly saw a lioness coming out of the forest and coming towards her. She ran towards the forest but her head covering fell off. The lioness approached it and tore it with her teeth. In the meantime, Pyramus arrives at the scene and sees his beloved&#8217;s hat torn. Disturbed without investigating, he draws his sword and ends his life, believing that the lioness had killed her. Shortly after, he arrives from the forest where Thisbe was hiding and sees her lover dead, immersed in a pool of blood. He realized the reason why her lover committed suicide and immediately took the same sword and stabbed himself on his dead body. This passion is described by the Roman poet Ovid (43 BC-17) Commentary: 1\/ Today, the most common thing is for a man to stab his wife, divorcee or lover. Back then, we loved the woman who was difficult to fall for. It would be a lie to say that we didn&#8217;t flirt with others even when we were married, but that&#8217;s it, because we think that every act of infidelity is paid for by the children 2\/When we were young, we also had our lovemaking in the woods, or on the beach, generally in lonely places and far from the greedy gazes of the world at that time. We were certainly in danger from the voyeurs who approached the couples and disturbed them at the time of orgasm. However, there were also criminal acts against lovers. If the young woman entered a room at that time, if she had not formalized her bond, it was considered an act of secret prostitution 3\/ On the contrary, today there is neither shame nor discrimination. In front of public view, they not only exchange innocent kisses, but they complete the sexual act undisturbed in front of young and old, even on public transport. 5\/ It is a fact that today the old values \u200b\u200bhave relaxed and young people have become more honest, realistic, selfish and cold in love. Is today&#8217;s society better or worse? The mirror is the children. From this point of view, it is worse. Children are the great victims 6\/ You will ask me how the Greeks found themselves in Babylon at that time? The Cretans, the so-called &#8220;Eteocretans&#8221;, crossed into Asia Minor and spread their culture there. Then they advanced towards the Hittites, descended towards Nineveh and finally took the civilization to Babylon. Thus the so-called &#8220;Babylonian Civilization&#8221; flourished. A little later, the Achaeans left Cyprus and transported the civilization to the shores of the Near East where they built the Dodecapolis and created the state of Palestine. Now Hamas and Israel are involved in a criminal game. This is costing the lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians. Israel demolished the homes of the Palestinians and killed over 50,000 souls, mostly civilians. Now it wants to eliminate the state of Palestine. History is turning and blood is flowing unceasingly. Only Peace can redeem them.
