In C.S. Lewis' book Prince Caspian the high prince of Tashbann set out on an errand to conquer the land of Archerland. He set with only the tacit approval of the king and therefore his god. Upon arriving his Archerland he was defeated in a battle with the army of Narnia. The honorable god of Narnia Aslan punished the prince by turning him into a donkey and forced him to return to Tashbann in shame. The prince had every intention of returning to his homeland as a conquering knight. Instead, he was forced to return in ridicule and lived his entire life as fool.

hmmm......this sounds somewhat familiar.
