Pyramus and Thisbe, a classic love story from Greek mythology that inspired Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Pyramus and Thisbe are a pair of ill fated lovers from the city of Babylon who long to be together,  but in mythology, particularly Greek mythology, things rarely go smoothly and their fledgling relationship is tested to breaking point.
