Spartan generals know that they can always secure a victory on the most ferocious enemies, but at a very high price: they must sacrifice their best warrior to Ares, the God of War. In today's battle against the Athenians, they cannot risk a defeat. The sacrificial victim is a Philistine mercenary -a huge man, stronger than three Greek soldiers- who has served Sparta for two years now. Last night, he has been narcotized and his eyes  torn out, and today at sunrise he has been brought to the ceremonial pier of Kalamata. Ares himself crosses the Messenian Gulf to collect the tribute. By the time victory is announced in Sparta, the towering Philistine will have been given as food to Kerberos, the hound of Hades.  

"The land that we have gone through as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it are of great size. There we saw the Nephilim... and to ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them." (Numbers 13:32–33)

Read about the original Tarzan's antmen story here !

It is now two years that Epaminondas, the Theban general, has liberated the helots from two centuries of slavery under the Spartan yoke. Many of the helots, not having a homeland that they could call their own, offered themselves as slaves to their liberators. Epaminondas himself took three young brothers for his personal service, but also to help the poor things as their erastes -their moral mentor and sexual penetrator. Following the Theban custom, the slaves' penises were immediately cut, but -to preserve their masculine demeanor- their testicles were spared. They were completely shaved, except for a strip of hair in the top of their heads, and white-hot branding irons with Epaminondas initial were applied to their left breasts and right buttocks. Since then, they have learnt to give pleasure to their owner and erastes with all kinds of caresses, games, and dances, especially after the long hours of exhausting combat training, when Epaminondas likes to relax by t...

N.B.: Antmen are the male offspring of a female-only population, directly descending from the ancient Amazons, who live in the Central African forests. These warrior women breed with their slaves -occasional captives chosen because of their strong physiques and big genitals- but keep their female children only. Male babies' lives, however, are spared by their mothers' instinct. They are fed, during their first weeks, with the milk of a small primate ape, which drastically shrinks their size and limits their body growth to a final height of less than 25 cm (10"). After no more than six weeks, they are abandoned at the edge of the Southern savannahs where, if they are not first found by large birds or wild animals, they are rescued by their elder peers and taken to their village. Antmen's handsome white houses, in the form of several-storey towers up to 1.5 m (5') in height, are built below a small group of flowering trees, a few miles away from Tarzan's d...

Training of on-stage slaves is often done in studios, where they have to learn and synchronize their poses in front of a large mirror wall, but also in front of the camera. An important quality is to exactly strike the right pose at their master's command. Although these slaves need to develop stage presence, knowing and demonstrating their inferior position with respect to their owner must constitute their first nature. At any time, they must be prepared to be hurled into the air or thrown onto the floor, without losing an aesthetically acceptable pose, even if they would break an arm or leg in the event, which can easily occur when the bodybuilder is carried away by the enthusiasm of the audience. Displaying an erection in public is of course an unforgivable misbehavior for any slave, but especially for on-stage slaves. Favorite bodybuilding champ and stage personality Brock 'Ice pick' Saunders uses high-quality platinum genital locks for his slaves, made ...

This second image of amateur bodybuilder Brock 'Ice pick' Saunders, during his live show at the International Mr. Domination 2052 contest, shows the champ rising victorious over two of his regular on-stage slaves. These have been especially trained to emphasize their master's muscular superiority and excellent qualities as slave dominator. For a man like Brock, flexing on stage using two or three of his regulars, has become a profitable business. His performance has turned out to be immensely popular not only at bodybuilding events, but also at concerts, modern-art exhibitions, and clubs. Although it has been officially confirmed by his manager that he is 100% straight, his act is one of the best booked performances at gay clubs worldwide. This is why it has been extended to a routine lasting not less than thirty minutes, sometimes running up to three encores. The life of on-stage slaves is a strictly disciplined one. In most cases, they are selected bec...

Among the broad variety of modern enslaved servants, the category of 'on-stage slaves' comprises specially selected specimens, kept and trained for public-performance purposes. Since the 2040s, when amateur bodybuilding became hugely popular, bodybuilders more and more have felt the necessity of giving their fans spectacular live shows on stage. At the same time, slave owning by bodybuilders, both professional and amateur,  increased substantially. This habit was originally mainly focused on cleaning and massaging the bodybuilder's physique, apart from attending ordinary domestic chores. Gradually, the use of slaves as human weights also became very common. In recent applications of slaves by bodybuilders, especially those in the category of classic or aesthetic bodybuilding, assisting in on-stage posing has turned into a whole new form of art. The poses the slaves are trained to adopt next to their master or guest-performer, are sometimes inspired by...

Before anyone asks, the figure to the right is not a slave but a hundtlan (cf. German "Hündlin" = bitch). In some ancient North European tribes, a hundtlan  was a young male from a noble family who did not have the necessary virility or strength to become a warrior. As soon as this condition was assessed, the family handed out the youngster -along with a generous dowry- to any nobleman who would accept him. From then on, the hundtlan was considered to be just another female among the nobleman's wives. Her duties spanned from taking care of domestic chores to joining the party of women and slaves that, each night, gave sexual pleasure to their lord. A hundtlan was usually taken by her husband to the battlefield -where, on the basis of supersticious beliefs, born females were not allowed.  There, she lighted the fire, prepared and served her husband's meals, attended his clothing, provided for his sexual relief, and was often shared for sex with...

Summary from a specialized journal's paper : The so-called dog slave, servus canis or servus caninus (since the largest percentage is of the male gender) is one of the common types of modern slaves. It is characterized by reacting in a particularly servile, rather primitive way to its owner, showing extreme loyalty and perception. This type exhibits specific canine behaviorism, like walking on all fours, not being able to speak, but just producing mere bestial sounds, licking their master's boots or feet, and impulsively responding to its master's voice and to the scent of his genitals, urine, or excrements. Dog slaves are often kept on a leash or chain and in dog cages, wearing distinct paraphernalia which increase the canine appearance. Although a peculiar subcategory of dog slaves –usually of the efeminate, sexually inactive type– dresses itself up in furry costumes, this is not a general habit in sexually-alert specimens. Generally popular accessories ...

Pankration champions Damagetos and Akousilaos , the sons of the legendary athlete Diagoras of Rhodes, won boxing and wrestling matches at the games of Olympia, Delphi, Isthmia, Nemea and Athens. They ranked amongst the most popular fighters and athletes of antiquity. Their fame and popularity stretched from Magna Graecia in the West to Anatolia in the East. Famous sculptors had copied their extremely muscular bodies and handsome looks to model for gods and heroes. It had become known within the Greek world that the brothers were looking for their ultimate challenge. This came to the attention of a wealthy Anatolian nobleman, who owned the most eccentric monsters, like a white elephant from Africa, an aurochs from the forests of Hyperborea, and a peculiar humanoid called Griffa. This Nordic monster of dubious human breed and exceptional strength had a double chest and four arms. Because of its aggressive temperament and extreme eagerness to attack and strangle both men a...

Of the Olympic athletes, Damagetos and Akousilaos, the outstanding sons of the famous athlete Diagoras of Rhodes, belonged to the most skilled wrestlers and boxers. Some believe that Diagoras and his two sons modeled for the famous sculpture of Laokoon and his two sons attacked by snakes. Although this statue was made by three sculptors from the same island, it actually was made centuries later, during the Roman period. Still it could have been inspired by a previous statue, unfortunately lost in time. Being trained by their own father, from childhood on, the competitive brothers liked to fight each other and developed great virtuosity in martial arts. For Diagoras, his two sons were his pride and joy. Yet, living together often brought about a lot of tension. Akousilaos, the youngest, was his favorite, while Damagetos frequently caused trouble, being a cocky prat, sometimes even raising his hand or fist in anger against his father. Competing in the Olympic games remai...

Among the most celebrated athletes who excelled in the Olympic games, young Theagenes of Thasos ranged as one of the best. The Aegean island of Thasos was the most Northern of the Greek islands. It was close to the Macedonian and Thracian coast. It was especially renowned for its gold mines, wine, nuts and marble, but since Theagenes appeared on the racing track of Olympia, he became the greatest showpiece of Thasian origin. This was obvious to anybody who had seen his impressive body and witnessed his achievements. No one exposed to the sheer size and exceptional muscularity of his stature could believe Theagenes was only sixteen years old, and thus a comparatively inexperienced youngster.  Still, his great muscle power and athletic skills excelled in many ways. For his public appearance at the games, a special room was prepared for Theagenes to exercise before and relax after the competition. Moreover, he was presented four fresh slaves as a special gift by the...

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, ...

In broad daylight, 18-year-old construction worker Javier and 19-year-old economy student Timothy have been abducted by slave hunters. They arrived blindfolded and stripped naked in a large industrial complex known as The Factory . Possibly ten hours have passed, being locked up together with dozens of other naked young men, not knowing what to expect. The individual cages are not big enough to sit straight or lie down. In the distance they hear all kinds of disturbing noises such as heavy doors banging, guards yelling, captives screaming, as well as the shrieking sound of machines. Not being able to leave their cage even to use a toilet, some of the captives can't help but piss onto the captives below them. The stench of urine, shit and vomit is almost unbearable, as is the sound of some of the captives, crying, screaming for help, protesting or praying. Others keep themselves in silence. Some even try to find release by jerking off, without any shame or reserve t...
