“Drawing on different cultures, Turkish literature holds many great love stories that stem from different legends, told and re-told for centuries. These dramatic little tales became something for people to hold onto over the years, filling many long nights of storytelling.

Set a long time ago around Mount Ida, this is the story of two lovers whose suffering was so great that there is now a pond and a tree bearing their names. Emine and Hasan meet at a village market. In time, they become lovers. They can only see each other once a week, so they decide to get married. However, Emine’s mother does not think Hasan is suitable for her daughter, and so she gives a task to Hasan according to tora (a set of unwritten social rules). He has to carry a 50-kilogram bag of salt on his back from one village to another. Because Hasan loves Emine so much, he accepts the task. The two start the way together but after a few kilometers, the salt starts to burn Hasan’s back. He cannot stand the pain and drowns in the pond quietly.

Without realizing that Hasan has died, Emine walks all the way to the village. When she realizes her beloved is not with her, she panics and starts looking for him. She finds Hasan’s shirt floating in the pond.
Emine cannot bear the fact that Hasan is dead, so she hangs herself from a plane tree near the pond with his shirt. Ever since those long-ago times, the plane tree is known as Emine and the pond is called Hasan Boğuldu (Hasan drowned).”
