Orestes has won the race organized in honor of his arrival in the Kingdom of Phocis, and he and his cousin and lover Pylades are now enjoying a bath. The court is known for its stock of dedicated domestic slaves, taking care of the royal family's hygiene, which is highly valued throughout the country. The people of Phocis, like those in the Kingdom of Mycene and its other allies, value the human body as a temple of their immortal soul and spirit. Especially the beautiful young male body is considered the image of Apollo, the god of beauty and order, to whose honor the great temple in Delphi is dedicated. Because Orestes and Pylades have decided to visit this temple to bring a sacrifice to the god, they want to be cleaned thoroughly from the sweat and dust of the race. Orestes' gigantic muscular body has already been cleared from most of the sweat on his skin by one of the domestic slaves, using a large golden strigilis, that has been presented personally to him by his uncle,...

When prince Orestes arrived from his hometown Mycene to the kingdom of Phocis, King Strophius, the father of prince Pylades, instructed a ceremonial race to be held between their royal guest, prince Pylades and all the noble young men in the kingdom. The king's slaves were ordered to take care of all the necessary preparations, such as summoning the contestants and preparing the athletes for the event. As soon as the sun has risen, Orestes and his cousin Pylades meet near the race track, where their slaves immediately start to help the two royal athletes into their sandals, specially made for this occasion. Like in all sportive disciplines favored by the nobility, athletes will compete naked, in order for the audience to admire and enjoy the view of their beautiful young muscular bodies in all their glory. Because of the sharp stones on the track, it has been agreed that the athletes would wear sandals. There is another accessory the athletes have to wear according to the tradit...

After a couple of hours of deep sleep, Orestes twists to lay on his stomach, which moves the Nubian next to him. The slick body of the slave immediately adapts to its master's new position, and rests its head on Orestes' muscular back. This clash of muscular bodies nearly crushes Pylades' face, while the private parts of the blond prince are almost squashed by Orestes' right knee. Gasping for breath he awakens, only to find himself pinched between the enormous thighs of his lover. Sleeping like this, obviously, is not without risks. Pylades realizes he has to find a way to share the same bed as his big love, but still survive the embrace of the sleeping giant. The Nubian slave is so much used to sleeping with Orestes, that it automatically adjusts to any of his movements, as it also accepts -even asleep- the penetration of Orestes' manhood, like in the usual morning ritual, waking up with Orestes' morning erection between its thighs, or tight between its butt...

Being four cubits tall (1.80 meters, or 6 feet), Pylades' height is well above the average among Greeks. However, he looks as a small runt besides the intertwined male bodies of Orestes' (3 meters, or 10 feet) and his Nubian slave (2.10 meters, or 7 feet), often sleeping on top of each other. Orestes' lover prefers to sleep between the mighty legs of the Mycenaean prince, close to the enormous manhood, or even resting his face against this soft lump of flesh, using it as a pillow. In addition to this intimate sensation, Pylades adores the particular manly smell of Orestes' genitals, which had drawn him unconsciously towards the giant's body, even before he developed and fully understood his undivided love for him. During one of his first nights sharing the bed of Orestes' and his athletic Nubian, he dreams of being alone with his lover. He does not realize he is holding one of the muscular thighs of the Nubian, while the slave sleeps on top of its master, emb...

It is now several years ago that the great Mycenaean King and Basileus Agamemnon received a gift sent by a distant relative, living in Egypt. The pharaoh, Ramses III, frequently exchanges gifts with mighty Aegean kings like Agamemnon, but also with the Trojan king Priamus, as a pact against their foreign enemies, such as the invading Sea people, as well as possible local traitors within the palace walls. The gift Ramses  chose on that occasion was a young Nubian prince. Since about three centuries ago Nubia is annexed by Egypt, that exploits its important gold mines, and uses its well-built men as an optimal stock of working slaves. Agamemnon accepted this gift from Ramses, but handed it over to his son Orestes to be used as his personal servant. Following the king's orders,  the crown and necklace worn by the Nubian prince at his arrival, made of the finest gold, were transformed by the royal smiths into a solid neck collar, fit for his new role as Orestes' slave. At that...

Pylades, a strong and well-built young man, has a height that is bigger than most of his peers. Still, the size and natural muscle development of Orestes' body is monumental, even at his young age. In spite of his younger years, he surpasses his cousin and lover almost twice in height and his muscle power and virility is simply unsurpassed. As Orestes lays down on the beach of the Sea of Corinth near the court of  king Strophios, Pylades stretches out on Orestes' lap and mighty torso, and feels the restrained strength of the powerful muscles below him. As Orestes kisses his lover in the neck, Pylades takes in the great affection of his huge friend. Never has he experienced such deep and overwhelming love for another young man, although he has been raised among many of the most handsome princes, and has frequently played and wrestled with them, developing his strength and experiencing more often the spontaneous eroticizing response of his healthy body to the physical contact....

The sight of the two princes standing close to each other at the beach, enjoying the vista of the Sea of Corinth and their intense love, captures the spirit of what love between men in Antiquity was all about. In ancient Greece love between men -both spiritually and physically- was considered of a higher level than love between man and woman. Male nudity and beauty also was accepted as most natural and exemplary for youths to gain a noble virtue in life. In this highly intimate image, Pylades clings tightly to the massive thigh of his beloved Orestes, leaning his head passionately on the firm athletic buttock of his giant friend. Orestes embraces this passionate love by gently holding Pylades' shoulder and encouraging him to express his overwhelming love. Feeling the hand of his friend clamped between his strong upper legs, slowly moving upwards to his sweaty buttcrack makes him experience an increasing longing to have his cousin touch and stroke his private parts unrestrainedly...

Orestes enjoys it extremely when Pylades puts all his effort and strength in a spontaneous wrestling game, trying to force his immense body to the ground. It is obvious that the blond prince has no chance whatsoever to oppose that size and sheer muscle strength. Still he holds on pulling and pushing the enormous thighs of his big friend. Moving between the legs of Orestes, Pylades' head and neck keep on rubbing between his naked buttocks, as his shoulders keep on unintentionally massaging his testicles, which greatly adds to the physical enjoyment of the Mycenean prince. Pylades doesn't seem to bother at all that at every twist and turn he can feel the heavy manhood of his huge buddy bouncing against his arm and shoulder. Wrestling and seizing each other like this seems to last for ever, without either of the two energetic young princes giving in or getting tired. They fully loose themselves in the pure pleasure of their fight and the clinging of their young and noble bodies...

Orestes, the great Mycenean heir and newly found friend of Pylades, feels himself more and more attracted to the young prince of Phocis. After their short rest, he sits on the sand of the beach, with his heavy body resting on top of the shapely side of Pylades. From this perspective his friend feels even more love and admiration for the colossal size and immensely muscular sight of his cousin's torso and massive biceps. He knows that, without the least of effort, Orestes would be able to crush his body between his monumental thighs.  Reaching out to stroke his hard abdominals, Orestes grabs the young man's arm, because he knows that stroking his belly would immediately lead to other responses of his healthy and manly body, which he probably wouldn't be able to control well. His enormous penis and balls are resting heavily on Pylades' belly, the former almost touching his breast, covered in the smoothest blond hair. Orestes smiles at his cousin, trying to express wi...

Orestes, the giant son of Agamemnon is enjoying the sunlight on his immense body, while his blond cousin and lover Pylades is resting his head on the flat stomach of his potent partner. Feeling the large hand of Orestes stroke his buttocks and smelling the familiar soothing smell of the giant's manhood, has made the young man fall in sleep. 

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...
