Among the Pleiades[edit] Merope is the faintest of the stars because she was the only of the Pleiades to have married a mortal. L'etoile Perdue (The Lost Star, 1884) by William Adolphe Bouguereau depicts Merope with her sister Pleiades in the background. The Lost Pleiade (marble sculpture, 1874/75) by Randolph Rogers depicts Merope, as inspired by the Roman author Ovid's poem Fasti which recounts the legend of the seven sister stars. ^ Pleiades, in Greek mythology, InfoPlease Pleiades Mythology.
