Looking for stories in which someone's powerful wish for a child brings unintended consequences ("if only I had a son, even if he were a snake"... etc.). What are your favourites? #folklore

Warring States Chinese elite tombs often included antlered beasts, maybe to protect the deceased from demons or to symbolize immortality and rebirth. This is a simplified version from the state of Chu, c. 300 BCE, now @bhammuseum. #ancientchina #Archaeology @SeshatDatabank
