OberonOberon is the king of the fairies in medieval and Renaissance literature, primarily recognized from William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," in which he disputes with his wife, Titania, over the custody of a young boy. Oberon is first mentioned in a 13th-century French epic, where he is depicted as a handsome yet dwarfish character cursed by a fairy, and he has become a notable figure in various cultural interpretations and adaptations since then, including operas and other literary works.
