my favorite is hercule's promise to have sex with a shepherd after he came back from the underworld.
in it, hercules has go to the underworld to complete his labors and ends up making an agreement with a shepherd that hercules will have sex with him if he shows hercules how to get into the underworld; and so he does.
hercules does his thing in the underworld and when he comes back to make good on his promise, he finds out that the shepherd had died; but there was a sapling growing out of the shepherd's grave so hercules figures that he'll have sex with the little tree and that his promise to the shepherd is fulfilled.
Hercules’* promise or Hercules’s* promise
The choice is yours.
