It retells the Greek myth of two young lovers separated by the Hellespont, a narrow sea strait. Hero, a priestess devoted to Venus, meets Leander at a festival.

Their passionate encounters unfold with extravagant emotion and violent intensity, but Marlowe's untimely death left the poem unfinished—later completed by Chapman.
