Pirene was a pretty nymph, daughter of an iberian leader called Bebrix. When Herakles, in one of his travels (journeys), was passing there, Bebrix invited him to drink, and finally, Herakles seduced Pirene, who fell in love with him.
The following day Herakles left, and Pirene was abandoned. She was crying and crying, and she couldn't stand her pain.
Then she decided to be burnt and burned all the forest.
Herakles was looking at the sky, and he saw the black smoke. Then he ran back but he was late: Pirene was dying.
Herakles was sorry. He buried Pirene with the biggest rocks, making a great mountain chain.
When he finish, he placed snow there, and called these mountains "Pirineos", like the pretty nymph who was dead for his love.
Well done! You've used the tenses correctly.
