Aretousa from Erotokritos (Erotokritos is undoubtedly the masterpiece of the Cretan literature, and perhaps the supreme achievement of modern Greek literature. It is a romantic work written around 1600 by Vitsentzos Kornaros (1553-1613). In over 10,000 lines of rhyming fifteen-syllable couplets, the poet relates the trials and tribulations suffered by two young lovers, Erotokritos and Aretousa, daughter of Heracles, King of Athens. It was a tale that enjoyed enormous popularity among its Greek readership. To hear the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6GtOTP7IXA&feature=PlayList&p=6427CD619CAF9CA7&index=25)
Eurydice (Eurydice was the wife of Creon, a king of Thebes. She appears in Sophocles' Antigone, to kill herself after learning that her son Haemon and his betrothed, Antigone, had both committed suicide. She thrusts a sword into her heart and curses Creon for the death of her two sons: Haimon and Megareus)
