George Gordon Byron (1788 - 1824), known simply as Lord Byron, was a British poet and leading figure in the Romantic movement. In 1810 he swam across the Dardanelles to verify the truth of Leander's myth. Hero and Leander is the Greek myth relating the story of Hero, a priestess of Aphrodite who dwelt in a tower in Sestos on the European side of the Hellespont (today´s Dardanelles), and Leander, a young man from Abydos on the opposite side of the strait. Leander fell in love with Hero and would swim every night across the Hellespont to spend time with her.
After Swimming (from Sestos to Abydos)
If, in the month of dark December,
Leander, who was nightly wont
What maid will not the tale remember?
To cross thy stream, broad Hellespont!
But since he cross'd the rapid tide,
According to the doubtful story,
To woo, and Lord knows what beside,
And swam for Love, as I for Glory;
If, when the wintry tempest roar'd,
He sped to Hero, nothing loath,
And thus of old thy current pour'd,
Fair Venus! how I pity both!
For me, degenerate modern wretch,
Though in the genial month of May,
My dripping limbs I faintly stretch,
And think I've done a feat today
Twere hard to say who fared the best:
Sad mortals! thus the gods still plague you!
