The handsome Ganymedes

Speranza

Plato, in the Laws:

"The pleasure of males with males is contrary to nature, and a bolndess of the first rank in the surrender of pleasure. A nd we all charge the Cretans that they made up the tale (mythos) of Ganymede: they were convinced, we say, that their legislation came from Zeus, so they went on to tell this story AGAINST him that they might, if you be please, be following his example when they indulged in this pleasure, too."
