Here are some likes of Romeo and Juliet, The ones who had Their love story printed on the face of earth for many generations to come ...
Caesar-Cleopatra-Antony
I Ain't talking about a dirty threesome, In fact the story of how Cleopatra hid herself in carpet, Rolling out in front of Caesar sensuously and rest the history narrates very well.She became the Queen of Egypt with unbridled support from Rome.Years after Caesar was betrayed and stabbed, Marc Antony, who had always been struck by the beauty of his friend's mistress, became her lover (much later, mind you!). Shakespeare wrote about Cleopatra, that she was one of those rare kind of woman, whom age can never wither, A man can never grow out of love with her.Marc Antony left his wife, fought for Egypt, only to commit suicide.Cleopatra though captured alive, popularized the term 'Kiss of death', Apparently dying beside Antony. Her love for these two man is unquestionable, so is her beauty.
Odysseus and Penelope
These two can be termed as the perfect example of 'Waiting for you forever!'. Odysseus could hardly spend anytime with his newly-wed wife, and war drifted their routes! but not their love. The couple waited twenty years to be re-united again. While the beautiful Penelope rejected 108 suitors in hope of her husband's return, Odysseus was no less, he declined powerful sorceress's offer of eternal youth.(Homer is great!)
Paolo and Francesca
Francesca is beautiful and hapless wife of Gianciotto, the awful brother of Paolo. The chemistry between Francesco and Paolo develops while they read a book together, becoming lovers. (That is so my fantasy love story!). Later they were discovered by Gianciotto and killed!
Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal
Shah Jahan had many other wives, but his heart belonged to Mumtaz. The woman whose death led to the erection of Taj Mahal. This 19th century Couple had many children.Shah Jahan mourned her death for rest of his life.
John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford
John was an ambitious ruler, wanting to conquer, yet his war tactics would fail and funds would run out. Katherine was married to Nobleman, with whom she had two children. After her husband and John's wife
died, they came closer. The ambitious king couldn't marry a mere noblewoman, so he went on to marry Constanza, hoping to gain power in Castile, which ultimately turned out to be a bad deal, as he relinquished his powers there. After the death of his second wife he didn't repeat the same mistake again, and tied the knot with Katherine.They were parted only by death.
