Oneiza: The beloved of Thalaba the Destroyer, from the 1801 epic poem composed by Robert Southey. Taking its inspiration from Islamic theology and morality, Oneiza is promised to Thalaba, but his duty as a Muslim and God’s champion prevents him from marrying her. While travelling in the garden paradise of Aloadin, he discovers a woman being assaulted – Oneiza, captured by Aloadin the sorcerer. She dies before Thalaba can save her and her spirit follows him thereafter, disapproving and lamenting of his tasks.
