My dear Syrian friend working at Red Cross , thanks for the story of the unhappy princess. Thanks for the story of the silly wife too. I used both to connect apparently distant countries of the world. Similar in the desire to break down more or less real walls that power builds to divide people , when it's in difficulty. A Syrian history , a Lebanese story , a Russian-Italian story , some wall , some statue , many dreams.

It doesn't matter when the histories of love and of freedom happen exactly , especially now that our calendary turned towards past dark centuries.

Luckily in the ancient times too there were the just , the wise , the enlightenment , some free woman , in the middle of wars of the powerful in delirium.
