Hero was a priestess of Aphrodite at Sestos. She fell in love with Leander, a young man from Abydos. Every night, Leander swam across the Hellespont to visit her, guided by a light from her tower. However, one stormy night, the waves overpowered Leander and the winds blew out Hero’s light. Leander drowned and Hero killed herself after seeing his dead body.
