Marlowe's "Hero and Leander" - Fragments of Sexuality, Closure, and Pleasure
What is the genre of this poem? Early smut? Some sort of sequel/continuation/fan exploration? Adaptation of the Ovidean source myths? re-telling (shifting perspectives)
How do we find and archive queer ephemera? (in the 00s, printing fanfiction?! Circulating on tiktok? Internet archive (Ao3)); queer engagement with fragments by finishing or rewriting series in fandom/fanfic?

Leander in 1st Sestiad:
Some swore he was a maid in man's attire,
For in his looks were all that men desire,—
A pleasant-smiling cheek, a speaking eye,
-
And such as knew he was a man, would say,
"Leander, thou art made for amorous play:
Why art thou not in love, and loved of all?
Though thou be fair, yet be not thine own thrall."
