Orestes and Pylades


As soon as he arrived in Phocis, the young Orestes of Mycenae has met his cousin, Prince Pylades, the son of King Strophius. Pylades is a few years older than Orestes, but the two princes have soon become inseparable friends and, very recently, friendship has transformed into ardent love. As chronicled by Philostratus the Lemnian, at barely nineteen years old, Orestes is already twice as tall as most Greeks and his weight matches that of eight strong soldiers. Pylades is himself  a tall man but, next to his cousin, he looks -and sees himself- as a small toddler. This size difference, however, does not hinder their mutual passion. Much on the contrary, they feel as the protagonists of those suggestive ancient stories of giants and men, upon which all Greek youngsters build their first erotic fantasies. Full of lust by these feelings, Orestes and Pylades spend most of the day -and the night- together.


Most of the many hours that Orestes and Pylades spend together, they are in a playful mood: each trifle in the two young lover's way prompts their laugh or a new joke between them. In their continued games -Shepherd and sheep, Cyclops and dwarf, Soldier and wore, Athlete and servant, Master and slave- Orestes always has the dominant role, and plays with Pylades as if he were a girl's doll. Invariably, these intensely physical amusements end with the two cousins in full carnal arousal, but it is only Orestes' colossal erection which finds its way through his lover's orifices: the Mycenaean prince will never accept to be penetrated by a phallus smaller than his own.  Being older than Orestes and a prince himself, at first, Pylades felt affronted by  his cousin's constantly dominating attitude, but  love -and, above all, the overwhelming sensation of being filled by Orestes'  tower of pulsating flesh- soon led him to willingly accept his own submission.
