 | | Hero also wrote Catoptrica (on reflecting surfaces), and it seems certain that we possess this in a Latin work, probably translated from the Greek by Wilhelm van Moerbeek, which was long thought to be a fragment of Ptolemy's Oplics, because it bore the title Ptolemaei de speculif in the MS. | | | Another famous hero and centre of a 14th-century cycle of romance was Amadis of Gaul; its earliest form is Spanish, although the Portuguese have claimed it as a translation from their own language. | | | Slavonic Heroes.The Slavonic heroic saga of Russia centres round Vladimir of Kiev (9801015), the first Christian ruler of that country, whose personality is eclipsed by that of Ilya (Elias) of Mourom, the son of a peasant, who was said to have saved the empire from, the Tatars at the urgent request of his emperor. |

| | There they say that Leander prayed her to take pity on his desire; that he kissed her throat; that he told her that Aphrodite takes no pleasure in virgins; that he was at her feet shot down by Love; that he declared that she was like a goddess for him. | | | Yet Leander's love was not hindered by the new frosty weather, and therefore he soon saw himself borne on the back of fierce waves, which the WINDS arouse when they fight each other: Eurus against Zephyrus 1 and Boreas 1 against Notus. | | | The day after, Leander's body reached the foot of the tower, and when Hero saw him flayed by the rocks, she teared her robe from round her breasts and cast herself down from the tower, her dead body remaining beside his. |

| | Hero and Leander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Succumbing to Leander's soft words, and to his argument that Aphrodite, as goddess of love, would scorn the worship of a virgin, Hero allowed him to make love to her. | | | In literature, the story has been the subject of two poems, one by Musaeus and one begun by Christopher Marlowe and completed by George Chapman after Marlowe's death, and a novel by Milorad Pavić. | | | The story has also been briefly alluded to in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, when Benedick states that Leander was "never so truly turned over and over as my poor self in love." |

| | glbtq >> literature >> Marlowe, Christopher |
| | In Hero and Leander, his version of the classical story of star-crossed heterosexual passion, Marlowe presents both an extraordinary homoerotic description of Leander and an extended homoerotic encounter between the youth and a love-smitten Neptune. | | | When the "saphir visag'd god" spies Leander in the sea, Neptune concludes that he must be Ganymede. | | | When the shocked Leander protests in exasperation, "You are deceav'd, I am no woman I" (2.192), Neptune merely smiles and begins to tell him a homoerotic tale of shepherds and satyrs, evocative of Theocritus's Idylls. |

| | Hero's tale, set at the beginning of the 20th century, is at time fantastical and absurd, its tone lighter and more playful than Leander's because the plot is not too serious. | | | It consists of two surrealistic and remarkably beautiful stories: "Hero" begins, conventionally, at the front of the book, and "Leander" begins when the book is turned over and opened at the "back" cover. | | | Like Leander, Hero lives with foreknowledge of her death. |

| | Hero and Leander does not seem to have been printed until 1598, when an edition published by Edward Blount (~Blont), Marlowe’s friend and publisher, appeared. | | | But the computers assure us that all of Hero and Leander appears to have been written by someone with precisely the same command of his T/tr as the man who wrote Dido, Faustus and Ovid Elegies. | | | The book was dedicated to Sir Thomas Walsingham, Marlowe’s patron and friend, with whom Marlowe had been staying in May 1593, as we learn from the Privy Council warrant: |

| | The poem tells the celebrated story of the love between the hero, Leander, and Hero, a priestess of Venus. | | | There are signs here of a newer, mellower, Marlowe, and what we have of Hero and Leander can only make us regret the more that it was to be his last work. | | | He had certainly already deviated from the norm in the introduction of Neptune's desire for Leander—an innovation which would have been instantly registered as such, since the story was so popular that, said a contemporary, “Hero and Leander is in every man's mouth”. |

| | Marlowe’s attention to detail does indeed show an intense interest in the physical form, however, his depiction of Hero and Leander serve to provide the reader with a platform from which to begin their understanding of the tale as a whole. | | | In fact, the tale of Hero and Leander is dramatic, with elements of controversy, doubt, passion and remorse. | | | It is interesting to note that Marlowe’s lengthy and strong description of Hero is limited to her external image. |

| | We have no explicit information about the poet Musaeus, author of the short epic poem on Hero and Leander, except that he is given in some manuscripts the title Grammatikos, a teacher learned in the rhetoric, poetry and philosophy of his time. | | | In the present volume are included fragments of the Aetia (Causes), aetiological legends concerning Greek history and customs; fragments of a book of Iambi; 147 fragments of the epic poem Hecale, which described Theseus' victory over the bull which infested Marathon; and other fragments. | | | He was obviously a follower of the Egyptian poet Nonnus of Panopolis, of the fifth century AD, and his poem seems also to presuppose the Paraphrase of the Psalms of Pseudo-Apollinarius which can be dated to the period 460–470. |
