Hero+and+Leander

Tim and Curtis Leander and Hero lived almost exactly across from eachother. Leander lived in Abydos and the maiden Hero, lived in Sestos. People thought that Hero was extremely beautiful. Apollo and Cupid attempted to sue eachother for Hero's hand in marriage, but both of them failed. Hero served Venus as a priestess. Leander came from Abydos to sestos to pay respects to Venus. That was when he first saw Hero. She saw him at the same time and they fell in "love". However, as most parents do, Hero's parents told her that she was not allowed to see Leander. They used lantern signals to set up dates at night. He would swim across the Hellespont to spen an hour or so with her. One day he went to swim to her house but a wind blew the lantern and guided him to a bad patch of sea. He drowned and was washed up the next day at her feet. She then jump in the sea and drown herself.
