Meleagro

Speranza

The only source about his same-sex inclination is Plutarco.

The Couretes, whose name is derived from 'kouroi', are essentially young men undergoing initiation.

Meleagro is an initiatory hero.

He is the hero of military institutions.

It is reasonable to assume that Plutarco is drawong upon a very ancient Aetolian tradition.
