Ancient athletes: Chionis of Sparta

For Chionis, competing in the Olympic games was all about demonstrating Spartan supremacy over the contestants from other states. From an early age he had been trained in running, wrestling and boxing. As an infant, he was left among wolves in nothing more than a simple loincloth, learning to survive, fighting with his bare hands. In his life as a boy and a youngster he never experienced any love or affection. Tender emotions were considered weak and decadent. Having been sent to Olympia, Chionis excelled in winning the olive tree wreath both racing and fighting the 'pankration', which brought him the greatest admiration of judges, spectators and fellow-competitors alike. Everyone loved to see him run, fight and flex his muscles. Phidias himself insisted he would pose for him, and Pindaros wrote an 'epinikion' or winner's ode praising his athletic stature, phenomenal achievements, and exceptional physical beauty.

Many admirers tried to approach him, sometimes offering their body to be used by his manly power. Chionis however had a particular preference regarding men to mate with. Being a tall and muscular man, he liked to be worshipped by athletic males, yet smaller than himself, who would venerate his body unreservedly, accepting his penetrating manhood at any time and occasion. His dominant and competitive nature, on the other hand, could only be submitted by a man who was superior in size. Never having been slain by an adversary, had ignited a secret longing to be possessed by another man, stronger and more virile than him. This had seemed impossible until he met his fellow-competitor Lygdamis, nicknamed Herakles because of his enormous size and strength. Although Chionis won the 'diaulos' or double run against this giant, Lygdamis felt irresistibly drawn towards the victor, wanting not only to congratulate him but actually desiring to mate with this champion.

Lygdamis finds Chionis outside the stadion, where the winner is eagerly met by the stadion slaves, ready to clean his magnificent body from the sweat and sand of the race. Chionis, still wearing a kynodesme around his manhood, is embraced by his new lover Philytas, about two feet smaller in size, who passionately kisses his breast. As Lygdamis approaches Chionis from behind, he also starts kissing him bluntly. Feeling the might of the huge man against his back, Chionis intuitively replies kissing without any restraint. In this moment for the first time he experiences the physical dominance he secretly has longed for all his life. The attraction between these two muscular bodies is like sent by the gods. Chionis feels a powerful energy running along his spine as Zeus' lightning bolt shooting through the skies. The tongues of the two athletes respond vigorously as young wrestlers trying to obsessively grab each other wherever they can.

The physical reaction of these two bodies is so intense that Chionis looses every sense of time and place.  While Philytas keeps kissing and caressing his upper body, clinging to one of his mighty thighs, Chionis feels Lygdamis' robust manly rod rise against his back, slowly separating his cheeks. As Lygdamis'  lower body starts pushing rhythmically against his, Chionis experiences the breath of Zeus and gives in to the force of nature.
