But I'd like to know on what it is based ? I mean, is it on scansion like in Greek, Latin, or even English, or on rhymes and number of syllables, like in french, or something else ? Thanks for your answer, and congratulations for your website! Egyptian love poetry is really beautiful, for sure…

It's called 'The Doomed Prince'. Here's one translation of it, though I wouldn't agree with it entirely since wherever it says 'climb' the text actually says 'jump', which in my opinion makes it a more impressive story! http://members.tripod.com/~ib205/book4.html Hope you enjoy it!

I've never heard of the Egyptian Rapunzel though...as in the story of the girl with the long hair trapped in a tower. Can anyone inform me or post a link to this story? I've heard of the Egyptian version of Cinderella though, maybe this is what's being referred to?
