Cymon Was a Strikingly Handsome But Ignorant Son of the King of Crete Whose Name Meant "Ass" in His Native Tongue. Rusticated For His Inablitilty To Take on the Slightest Polish, Cymontended To His Father's Pigs Until One Day When He Came Upon the Sleeping Iphigenia. Her Beauty Awakened His Dormant Finer Instincts and He Became a Gracious Courtier and Won Iphigenia. From Boccaccio's Decameron
