Rhoecus

Rhoecus once saved the life of a nymph, and in return he asked her to fall in love with him. She agrees, yet tells him that he needs to be constant, and that a bee will always tell him when he can come see her.

One day he's thirsty and doesn't pay attention to the bee. She punishes him by making him blind.

This is another instance of cruel and unusual punishment. It was not really his fault he didn't remember what the bee was, and if she loved him (as he had ordered her to do), she would not have blinded him.

If I had had one wish from the nymphs, I would've said, "never punish for anything I ever do." That way I could pick flowers without worrying about being turned into a tree.
