Explore "Hero and Leander" by Christopher Marlowe on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
On Hellespont, guilty of true-love's blood, / In view and opposite two cities stood, / Sea-borderers, disjoined by Neptune's might; / The one Abydos, the other Sestos hight.
At Sestos Hero dwelt; Hero the fair, / Whom young Apollo courted for her hair, / And offered as a dower his burning throne, / Where she should sit for men to gaze upon.
