Book seven of Ovid’s Metamorphoses holds a myriad of stories and poems, starting off with "Medea agonises over her love for Jason". Medea was an enchantress that helped Jason obtain the golden fleece from a giant serpent. While venturing, she proceeds to fall in love with Jason, and marries him. The book subsequently transitions to the Tales of Cephalus and Procris, and their lover’s quarrel, ending with the poem, "The Death of Procris", which Ovid adapted from the classic greek tale. The story began when Cephalus, a legendary hunter, was kidnapped by the infatuated and love-struck Goddess of the Dawn, Aura. He was separated for eight long years from his wife, Procris. Eventually, Cephalus was able to convinced Aura that he did not love her, but Procris, and she begrudgingly let him return to his wife. However, Cephalus was suspicious of Procris’s fidelity. He disguised himself, and hatched a plan to seduce her to test her faithfulness. He ends up successful in his ruse, but not without a cost. Out of shame, Procris ran into the woods and hunted with Diana. She was able to obtain a hunting javelin that never missed its mark, and gave it to Cephalus as a requital gift (little did she know this was the instrument of her doom). Later on, Procris too starts to question her spouse’s loyalty, and followed Cephalus to a mountain, which he ventured to in order to sing a hymn. Hearing Procris rustling in a bush and mistaking it for a wild animal, Cephalus threw his spear in his wifes direction, mortally wounding her in the process. "The Death of Procris" illustrates these lover's last moments together, and pain of seeing ones spouse dying in their arms; it shows how marriage is a sacred pact that puts the trust of two individuals into one another, and how it is truly a tragedy when broken.
