Pyramus and Thisbe - sort of the Romeo and Juliet of the ancient world. They were lovers who were forbidden to  marry, so they would speak to eachother through a hole in the wall adjoining their houses. They agreed to elope together, buy when Thisbe gets there she is scared away by a lion, and leaves her veil behind, which the lion tears and bloodies up. When Pyramus gets there he thinks she has been killed, so he kills himself. Thisbe returns, finds his body, and kills herself as well.
