:26:22
[ Hana ] "The King insisted that
he would find some way...

:26:25
"to prove beyond dispute...
:26:27
"that his wife
was fairest of all women.

:26:31
"'I will hide you in your room
where we sleep,' said Candaules--

:26:34
- said Candaules."
- Candaules.

:26:37
"Candaules."
:26:39
Candaules.
:26:42
Candaules tells Gyges that the Queen has
the same practice every night.

:26:45
She takes off
her clothes...

:26:48
and puts them on the chair
by the door to her room.

:26:52
"'And from where you stand,
:26:55
you will be able to gaze
on her at your leisure."'

:26:59
And that evening, it's exactly as
the King has told him.

:27:03
She goes
to the chair,

:27:05
removes her clothes
one by one,

:27:07
until she's standing naked
in full view of Gyges.

:27:11
And indeed, she was more lovely
than he could have imagined.

:27:15
But then,
the Queen looked up...

:27:19
and saw Gyges concealed
in the shadows.

:27:23
And although she said
nothing, she shuddered.

:27:31
And the next day,
:27:34
she sends for, for Gyges
and challenged him.

:27:37
- And hearing his story,
this is what she said.
- Off with his head !

:27:41
[ Laughing ]
:27:45
She said, "Either you
must submit to death...

:27:49
"for gazing on that
which you should not,

:27:51
"or else kill my husband
who has shamed me...

:27:56
and become King
in his place."
