يحكى أن حاكم من حكام اليونان القديمة كان يحب زوجته حبا كبيرا ,ومن شدة تعلقه بها كان يخشى بعد موته أن تعشق غيره , وكان كلما أظهرها على سرهو شكى إليها ما يساور قلبه من ذلك الهم حنت عليه وأقسمت له بأنها لا تحب وﻻ تتزوج بعد موته أبدا فكان يسكن إلى ذلك الوعد سكون الجرح تحت الماء البارد .
وفي ليله من الليالي وبينما كان يمر بالقرب من مقبرة المدينة لمح إمرأه تجلس بجانب قبر لم يجف ترابه بعد , وبيدها مروحة تحركها يمينآ ويسارآ لتجفف التراب !!
فعجب لشأنها وسألها ماذا تفعل ؟؟
فأجابته أن هذا المدفون يكون زوجها وأنها أقسمت له بأنها لن تتزوج حتى يجف قبره وأنها مستعجله لكي يجف القبر بسبب وجود عريس ينتظرها !!!
ومن ثم أعطته المروحه هدية بعد أن عرفت أنه الحاكم وأخذها في وقت ذهول منه حتى عاد إلى منزله ورأته زوجته وهو مذهول وبيده المروحة فسألته زوجته وقص لها القصة فأخذت منه المروحة وكسرتها وما زالت تلعن وتشتم تلك المرأة
وتشرح له بأن النساء لسن كبعض وأنها هي المرأة نادرة في النساء والوفاء .
ثم سألته هل مازلت تخاف أن أتزوج من بعدك ؟
فقال نعم .
فأقسمت له مجددآ أنها لن تفعلها فأطمئن لها. ومضى على ذلك عام , ثم مرض الحاكم مرضا شديدآ ,حتى أشرف على الموت، فدعا زوجته إليه وذكرها بما عاهدته عليه فأعادت العهد . فما غربت شمس ذلك اليوم حتى توفي الحاكم,فأمرت زوجته أن يبقى في قصره حتى اليوم التالي لحضور الناس وإقامة جنازة تليق به , ثم جلست وحيدة في غرفتها تبكي
وبينما هي كذلك إذ دخلت عليها الخادمة وأخبرتها أن رجل من تلاميذ الحاكم بالباب يبكي بكاءا شديدا على الحاكم ثم خرا صريعا ولا يزال مغمى عليه عند باب القصر ولا تدري ماتفعل به , فأمرت الخادمة أن تدخله غرفة الضيوف وتتولى شأنه حتى يفيق . فلما انتصف الليل..
