This text contains the first two of the six "sestiads" only. These were the work of Marlowe before his death; the other four being written by George Chapman who also coined the term "sestiad" by analogy to "Illiad" -- the poem is set in a place called Sestos. Marlowe's work covers the period between the first meeting and eventual union of Hero and Leander.
