Corinna
She is the object of the narrator's affection through the poems contained within Amores. She first appears in the fifth poem, in which she and the narrator engage in a romantic affair one afternoon by chance. Though she is desirable, her habit of accepting favors in exchange for her affections drive the narrator crazy. She is a reckless person in love, in experimentation -- such as dying her hair multiple times, -- in finances, etc. Eventually, after both lovers have had affairs of their own, she falls out of good graces with the narrator.
Ariadne
She is featured in Ars Amatoria. The heroine and benefactor of Jason in his escape from the labyrinth, she is also the Cretan princess. Later in life, she is attributed with having been brutally raped.
Icarus
Also in Arm Amatoria, Icarus is the son of Daedelus who contrived a way for his son to escape their island prison. Tragically Icarus flies too close to the sun, causing the delicate adhesion of his artificial wings to melt. He plummets to his death in the sea, too eager for freedom to actually enjoy it.
Procris
She is the jealous wife in Ars Amatoria. She hears that her husband, Cephalus, is having an affair. Rushing to his side, she realizes he was merely beseeching the breeze to blow. Only her realization comes one second too late as she startles Cephalus who accidentally kills her with an arrow.
