Through classical texts like Hesiod's Theogony and Ovid's Metamorphoses, along with artistic portrayals on vases and in marble, we can today piece together the romantic entanglements of Greco-Roman deities. Despite their divine status, the gods of these myths grappled with feelings remarkedly human in nature, such as desire, jealousy, and the quest for revenge.

 Art historian Renee Gondek delves into Greco-Roman tales of love, lust, and woe as reflected in both ancient and contemporary artworks depicting passionate couples such as Zeus and Leda, Eros and Psyche, and Apollo and Daphne.
