King Candaules allows the fisherman Gyges to secretly enter his wife Nyssias's bedchamber using a magic ring that makes him invisible. Gyges spends the night with the queen, who believes her husband is with her. When she discovers the deception, she demands revenge. Based on ancient Greek sources, this story explores themes of voyeurism, betrayal, and
shame, and later inspired the psychological term "candaulism." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
