Maybe Narcissus and Echo? Or perhaps Orpheus and Ariadne? I dunno, I just think your style would suit some Greek love story so well. I'd provide any references you'd need.

Once upon a time there was a handsome greek youth by the name of Orpheus: tall, strong, and wise beyond his years he was the envy of all who fathers and mothers who lived in the Cicones under his father's rule. It has been said, though that all of these traits paled in comparison to his voice. It was a voice so beautiful and sweet, it could call the humming bees from their flowers and the birds from their song to listen to it. It was a voice of such wondrous power, thatn when he sang, stones would tilt their heads to hear better and caterpillars would burst forth as butterflies on the final fading note of a song. Now, any of the women of the Cicones would have snagged Orpheus in an instant had they the chance, but try as they might with their fashion, their coooking, or their riches none could ever have made them their own. No, Orpheus had eyes for only one maiden, the beautiful Eurydice, whose eyes outshone the moon, and whose smile tilted its crescent. Orpheus spent many months pursuing the lovely Eurydice, and finally caught her in a song. Both fell deeply into love, and as the courtship song Orpheus had woven faded into memory their love grew by leaps and bounds, so strongly that Aphrodite wept at its loveliness, and Eros cried in jealousy and wished that love for his own. Perhaps that was why their wedding night was disrupted by a snake that bit the Lovely Eurydice on the heel, why (wan and pale) she slipped into the afterlife as Orpheus wept, why the tall grasses of the Cicones went silent and ceased to grow. Orpheus' made no music now, but wandered silently, his lyre at his side, and called longingly for his Eurydice. And as the silence of Orpheus grew, the world shrunk. The grass flattened, the sun swathed itself in clouds, and the pollinators stopped thei happy dance. The crops stopped growing and the rivers clogged in mourning. Seeing this, all of the villagers begged Orpheus to sing, but whenever he opened his mouth an image of poor dead Eurydice stopped his throat, and his music died in his breast. Seeing that the only way to untopper Orpheus was to show him Eurydice, the villagers prayed that she be given back, and Appollo (god of music and joy) came to Orpheus in the night to tell him how to recapture the soul of his lost Eurydice. So it was that Orpheus set out for the underworld with only his Lyre and the clothes on his back as company. When he reached the river Styx, he sang a song so poignant that the ferryman (Charon) agreed to take him across that river of death and wept as he rowed. He sang a song so meloncholy and heartbreaking that Cerberus (the three-headed dog who guards the gates and eats trespassers) whimpered and lay still. He poured out his soul in song, and when there was nothing left to sing Persephone (goddess of spring and wife to the god of death Hades) came to him and asked him why he had come. Hearing his story she took him at once to her husband Hades and pleaded his Case. Hades' only soft spot was for his wife, and he understood how Orpheus felt at losing Eurydice, when he lost Persephone to springtime every six months. So, at the urgin of his wife, he granted Orpheus request, on one condition. Orpheus could not look back upon his love as he led her out of the Underworld, or else the spell of life would be broken and she would vanish from the living world forever. It was a long and harrowing journey back, but true to his word, Orpheus did not look back once, even when all was silent and he thought she no longer followed, he remembered their love and persevered. At long last he reached the gates of Underworld, stepped once again into the mortal world and looked back joyfully to see Eurydice (who had not yet walked through the gate) dissappear forever.

I'm rather fond of Apollo and Cyparissus myself. They're all terribly romantic, and usually tragic
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah those ones really depress me, but the romance is great

I kind of like tragedy. I don't know why. The only problem I find is that you know how it ends.
