Question: What is the nationality of the author of Hero and Leander?
Context: The aquatic rat, Ecuador fish-eating rat, or fish-eating rat ("Anotomys leander") is a South American species of semiaquatic rodent in the family Cricetidae.  It is the only species in the genus "Anotomys".  The specific name "leander" was not explained in the original species description but probably refers to the Greek mythical figure Leander from the story of Hero and Leander. Christopher Marlowe, also known as Kit Marlowe (baptised 26 February 156430 May 1593), was an English playwright, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era.  Marlowe was the foremost Elizabethan tragedian of his day.  He greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was born in the same year as Marlowe and who rose to become the pre-eminent Elizabethan playwright after Marlowe's mysterious early death.  Marlowe's plays are known for the use of blank verse and their overreaching protagonists. Léandre et Héro ("Leander and Hero") is an opera by the French composer the Marquis de Brassac, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opera) on 25 April (or the 5 May) 1750.  It takes the form of a "tragédie en musique" in a prologue and five acts.  The libretto, by Jean-Jacques Lefranc, Marquis de Pompignan, is based on the Greek legend of Hero and Leander. Henry Petowe (1575/6–1636?)  was a minor Elizabethan poet, best known today, perhaps, for "The Second Part of "Hero and Leander", Containing their Further Fortunes," his sequel to Christopher Marlowe's "Hero and Leander". Musaeus Grammaticus (Greek: Μουσαῖος "Mousaios") probably belongs to the beginning of the 6th century AD, as his style and metre are evidently modeled on those of Nonnus.  He lived before Agathias (530–582) and has been identified with the friend of Procopius whose poem (340 hexameter lines) on the story of "Hero and Leander" is considered the most beautiful of the age (editions by Franz Passow, 1810; Gottfried Heinrich Schäfer, 1825; Karl Dilthey, 1874; Hans Färber, "Hero und Leander: Musaios und die weiteren antiken Zeugnisse", Greek and Latin texts with German translation, Munich: Heimeran, 1961).  The little love-poem "Alpheus and Arethusa" ("Anthol.  pal."  ix.  362) is also ascribed to Musaeus. Hero and Leander is a poem by Leigh Hunt written and published in 1819.  The result of three years of work, the poem tells the Greek myth of Hero and Leander, two lovers, and the story of their forlorn fate.  Hunt began working on the poem during the summer of 1816, arousing the interest of the publisher John Taylor, and despite repeated delays to allow Hunt to deal with other commitments the poem was finished and published in a collection 1819.  Dealing with themes of love and its attempt to conquer nature, the poem does not contain the political message that many of Hunt's works around that time do.  The collection was well received by contemporary critics, who remarked on its sentiment and delicacy, while more modern writers such as Edmund Blunden have criticised the flow of its narrative. Hero and Leander is a poem by Christopher Marlowe that retells the Greek myth of Hero and Leander.  After Marlowe's untimely death it was completed by George Chapman.  The minor poet Henry Petowe published an alternative completion to the poem.  The poem was first published posthumously, five years after Marlowe's demise. Eden Is West (French: "Eden à l'ouest" ) is a 2009 film by Greek-French director Costa-Gavras about an illegal immigrant called Elias who tries to get to Paris.  The original title in Greek is “Paradissos sti Dysi” (“Paradise in West”) and since it is a Greek-French production, the also original French title is “Eden à l'ouest'.  The nationality of the central hero is not disclosed because Gavras wants to make a point about the odysseys of the illegal immigrants of any nationality, since he himself was an immigrant 50 years ago in France, before he became a well known director.  His hero seems to tolerate the sea, the cold of snowy mountains and the hunger, the rapists and robbers he meets, the cops that are after him all the time, the racists who push him aside, the fellow immigrants who steal his clothes and in the best case the women who see him as a lover they could also take advantage of.  His only comfort is his dream of Paris and, in the complexity of human condition, the good within the evil and vice versa. Ero e Leandro, also known after its first line as Qual ti reveggio, oh Dio (HWV 150), is a 1707 Italian-language cantata by George Frideric Handel, composed during his stay in Rome to a libretto believed to be written by Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni.  It is a reworking of the Greek myth of Hero and Leander, with the soprano soloist taking the role of Hero.  In it, Hero finds her love, Leander, drowned, tears out her hair, thus symbolically rejecting the beauty which had led to Leander's fascination with her (and thus his death), then drowns herself.  It is composed for a soprano solo (with no other singers), and a small orchestra consisting of two oboes, and two string sections: a concertino of solo violin and violoncello, and a concerto grosso made up of two violins, a viola, and continuo.  In "Ero e Leandro", Recitatives alternate with arias, as was normal at the period for not only cantatas, but oratorios and operas as well; however, unusually, "Ero e Leandro" ends with a recitative, instead of an aria. Hero and Leander is the Greek myth relating the story of Hero (Ancient Greek: Ἡρώ , "Hērṓ"; pron.  like "hero" in English), a priestess of Aphrodite who dwelt in a tower in Sestos on the European side of the Hellespont (today's Dardanelles), and Leander (Ancient Greek: Λέανδρος , "Léandros"), a young man from Abydos on the opposite side of the strait.  Leander fell in love with Hero and would swim every night across the Hellespont to spend time with her.  Hero would light a lamp at the top of her tower to guide his way.
