Homosexuality in Greek Mythology

Homosexuality in Greek Mythology is an exhaustive study of homoeroticism. The catalyst was Eros, followed by Apollo who learned boy-love from the Spartan youth Hyacinth. Apolloâ€™s wailing at the death of his belovÃ¨d, killed by the jealous West Wind when Hyacinth wouldnâ€™t give him a tumble, awoke Zeus who decided to try his hand by capturing the Trojan Ganymede, making him Immortal as a first precaution. Like Caesarâ€™s soldiers who laughed behind his back when he bedded recruits, none of the Olympians was unaware of the real purpose of Zeusâ€™ so-called cupbearer. Having taken root, boy-love conquered the Greeks, bringing them victory in battle because no lover would ever demean himself in the eyes of his belovÃ¨d, vastly preferring death first. Two parts of this book are nearly book length in themselves, the first the voyage of the Argo, a ship of lovers and their belovÃ¨ds, and the second the love between Achilles and Patrocles, played out during the colossal cataclysm of the Trojan War.
