"The Seven Viziers" is one tale in the One Thousand and One Nights. It is about a courtesan who accuses a king's son of having assaulted her, when in reality she had failed to seduce him (inspired by Biblical story of Joseph). Seven viziers attempt to save his life by narrating seven stories to prove the unreliability of the courtesan, and the courtesan responds by narrating a story to prove the unreliability of the viziers.
