It was George Gordon, Lord Byron.
The pairs of Leander and Hernia, Demetrius and Helena, and Oberon and Titania all represent couples in love, often facing challenges and misunderstandings in their relationships. Each pair navigates themes of desire, conflict, and reconciliation, reflecting the complexities of love. Additionally, they are all characters from classical literature, showcasing the enduring nature of romantic struggles across different narratives. Their relationships highlight the interplay of passion, jealousy, and ultimately, the resolution that love can bring.
Shakespeare quoted Marlowe's Hero and Leander, in the line "Whoever lov'd that lov'd not at first sight?"
There are some distinctly homoerotic tones in some of his works, particularly in Edward II and his poem Hero and Leander, arguably more than any other writer of his time. Pertaining directly to Marlowe himself, however, there is no evidence to indicate one way or the other.
Romeo, Juliet, Friar Lawrence, the Nurse, Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, Mercutio, Paris, Prince Eschylus, Benvolio, Peter, Bartholomew, and others. You will find them on the cast list of any copy of the play.
Borachio was making love to Margaret in Hero's room, while calling her Hero. It was this that Don Pedro and Claudio were directed to overhear by Don John. At first blush it may sound as if Margaret ought to have been insulted by this--if her lover is moaning out some other girl's name he isn't thinking of the girl he is with, now, is he? But perhaps this couple had a fantasy sex game where they pretended to be famous lovers: she'd be Cleopatra and he'd be Antony. And on this occasion she was Hero and he was Leander. Anyway, Borachio's confidence to Conrade is overheard by the watch who arrest them.
Leander and Hero were the mythical lovers that drowned in the Hellespont.
Leander swam the Hellespont nightly.
Hero's lover was Leander, who was known for swimming across the Hellespont every night to visit her. Tragically, Leander drowned during one of his nightly swims, leading Hero to throw herself into the sea in grief.
I believe his name was Leander but he wasn't the only one to do so because the British Lord Byron also swam across the Hellespont.
The mythical youth who drowned in the Hellespont was Leander. He was known for his passionate love for Hero, a priestess of Aphrodite, who lived on the opposite shore. Each night, Leander would swim across the Hellespont to be with her, guided by the light of a lantern she would hold. Tragically, during a stormy night, he drowned while trying to cross, leading Hero to take her own life in grief.
The stormy winds blew out the torch that Hero held to guide Leander to her across the Hellespont. He lost his way and was drowned. When Hero saw his dead body she threw herself into the sea to be with him.
The Hellespont, also known as the Dardanelles, is a narrow strait that connects the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara, effectively separating Europe from Asia. It is located in northwestern Turkey and has been historically significant, serving as a crucial maritime route since ancient times. The strait is famously associated with the legend of Leander and the historical events of the Trojan War. Today, it remains an important passage for international shipping and trade.
