Oberon
"Oberon" by Christoph Martin Wieland is an epic poem published in 1780. Based on the French medieval tale "Huon de Bordeaux" and influenced by Shakespeare, it tells of a duke condemned to undertake an impossible mission in Babylon. With help from the fairy king Oberon and his magic horn, Huon must complete his quest while navigating supernatural trials. At the heart of the story lies a quarrel between Oberon and Queen Titania, resolved only when human lovers prove absolutely faithful.
