El amor como temática recurrente en la creación literaria debido a su indudable importancia en el
comportamiento y pensamiento del ser humano es el punto de partida del presente trabajo. La presencia del amor en la
mitología y la pervivencia de los símbolos de ésta a lo largo de los tiempos la hacen fundamental en este trabajo.
Tomando como elemento cohesivo el mito de Hero y Leandro, se elabora un estudio en el que toman parte diversos
poetas, pintores y escultores que han tratado el tema mitológico vinculado al amor en sus obras. En cuanto a la
Literatura, se hace hincapié en las composiciones de los poetas más ilustres del Siglo de Oro, debido a que su recurrente
referencia a la mitología sirve de herramienta para la comprensión del trabajo.
