One of the legends of ancient Iraq - it is a Babylonian legend known as - Fisbeh and Pyramus - they are from Babylon. They fell in the trap of love, and their parents prevented them from meeting in Babylon. They agreed to escape and meet in the Babylonian temple of Ninus under the white mulberry tree when they arrived at Fisbeh at the beginning of the year. The matter happened: I encountered a lioness - a female lion - with a wound in her jaw, and blood was dripping from it. She ran away in fear and left her dress on the ground, so it was stained with the blood of the lioness. When Pyramus came, he found her dress stained with blood. He thought that his lover had been eaten by monsters, so he stabbed himself with his sword and died of suicide, out of grief over the death of his lover, and when she returned. She found her lover dead. She took his sword and killed herself as well. When the blood of the two lovers spilled onto the ground under the white mulberry tree, the color of the berries became red ever since. - It is a Babylonian love story that represents a heartbreaking tragedy that claimed the lives of a man and a woman who loved each other to death -----
