One of many stories:
In ancient Iranian mythology, it was said that King Jamsheed preserved his grapes out of season in large jars. One year one of the jars began to ferment and to smell odd. So it was labeled “poison” to warn anyone against drinking it.
Along came one of the ladies of the court, so stricken with misery and despair that she seized the opportunity to drink from that very jar. Astonishingly, she survived. More astonishingly, she was cured of her depression, at least momentarily.
