she's a legend

I must say that Scheherazade was a legend woman.she was a Persian story teller for King Shahryar. the story started when the king would marry a new virgin every day. after they married, the virgin had to tell a story about anything.after the story was finished, he would beheaded the virgin the next morning.then,he would marry a new virgin over and over again.he had killed more than one thousands virgin during that era.the reason why he did that because he was angry when he found out that his first wife betraying on him.the vicious killing kept continue until he met with vizier's daughter, Sheherazade. 


She herself volunteered to marry with the king and ought to tell a story. but the father was refused to give his daughter to the king because he knew that the king was going to kill his daughter the next day. Still, Scheherazade convinced the father. finally, she get married with the king. what Scheherazade did was, for the first night, she was telling the story but she won't finish it that night and told to the king she would continue it the next night.so, the king had to postpone her execution.whenever the night passed by, she would stop and told the king there was no time.the next day, the king would spare a life to listen to her magnificent stories. the king had to kept alive Scheherazade until the one thousand and one nights, Scheherazade told the king that she had no more stories to tell.finally, the king fell in love with her and deeply in love with her.


very mysterious but nice story tough.well, even the beginning is quite cruel.but, Scheherazade had safe other virgins' life. another thing is, Rimsky Korsakov had composed a classical music,also called Scheherazade.this music of Scheherazade has told to the world the story life of her.because once we listen to this classical music, we will know how was Scheherazade's feeling during that time if we were in her shoe.what I can tell,this music has given a very very enormous blow for the world for orchestra. 

suggest you to read the history about her. ^_^
