Book IV:
Pyramus and Thisbe: The star-crossed lovers escaped the grasp of their forbidding parents, but alas, they find their fate at the end of a knife while searching for each other to full fill an elopement.
Mars and Venus: Literally caught in adultery by a thinly woven chain, the Sun is punished to forever burn and be watched as he rises in the East and sets in the West.
Salmacis and Hermaphroditus: The lazy nymph pleasured no one but herself and when she found something she wanted, the handsome Hermaphroditus, he rejected her, no surprise, karma's a bitch.
Cadmus and Harmonia: Both held fast in the city of Thebes, Cadmus wished to be like the snake that he had slain, he morphed, and the devastated Harmonia wished the same fate upon herself. Together they slithered into hiding.
Perseus and Andromeda: The fair girl is chained to an ocean front rock where the mighty Perseus must battle a great sea monster in order to save her. He does and together they were joined in love :)
