Thisbe [r]:
From Greek mythology, she is a young girl who commits suicide because she thought, mistakenly, that her lover, Pyramus, was dead. He wasn't; so her death was a tragedy, and was recounted in the text Metamorphosis by Ovid. The story was later retold in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.
