Demonice, a maiden of Ephesus. Brennus, king of the Gauls who was razing Asia Minor came to Ephesus and fell in love with Demonice. She promised to yield to him, and also to betray her country, if he would give her golden bracelets and the jewels of the Gaulish women. Brennus told his soldiers to throw into her lap the gold they were wearing, and she was buried alive.[2] - from an encyclopedia.
Demonice
Her beauty was overwhelming
Like an ocean,
All-consuming like fire.
With a seductive smile
She would attract men
And she feel in love
With a hero.
A conqueror killed her
As his principles were harder
Than his sword.
Demonice
