Above Athens.
 by davistrell@aol.com

	We were students of Socrates, Odyithyutheus and me. I'm Lythander
and I've got a thlight lipth. Not tho that you'd notith.
	But we were different, Odysseus and me, different than the other
boys in Socrates' academy.
	They had come only to listen to his teachings; to learn moral
philosophy, as handed down by Plato, but as we were over eighteen summers
now; old enough to be taught the agenda of the extra curricula vitae, for
the advanced students of Socrates and eager to learn.  We were encouraged
to experiment on our own. Which we did at every available opportunity that
presented itself.
	We liked having sex, in the vestibules of town houses, in the
public baths, next to the statues of naked gladiators with their idealized
body parts, better-looking than us, no pimples, but we were alive and could
do what they could't, what they would never do.
	 I liked sucking Odysseus' cock in the open air, in that arbor,
next to the Parthenon atop the Acropolis above Athens, and he would put me
in seventh heaven with ass-licks.
	Boy, it was wonderful. I was Pan, the accepting one and he was
Peter, hard as a rock.
	 I imagined I was one of those old-fashioned satyrs, the ones with
goat-legs, a dragon tail above my butt-hole, dangling down between my legs,
while my diminutive cock and balls hung down in front, from my furry white
belly. My torso smooth, with two cherry-red pink nipples, my hair black and
curly, with two small horns either side of my forehead and an impish smile
and devil-may-care eyes. Maybe you don't think that's sexy, well...to each
his own.
 	Odysseus on the other hand was, a junior Hercules, heroic killer of
the lion. My hero. With his blond hair hanging to his shoulders, he wore a
pale yellow tunic that covered his powerful torso, a chest armored with
bronzed fleshy muscle, an abdomen of sea-shells, a cylinder of iron for a
waist, a butt you wouldn't believe, a dick the size of a small caducaeus
and each leg, thighs thick at the top, gnarled at the knee, braced by
strong ankles, which carried small robin's wings, a present fom me,
adorning his delicate feet.
	They say Zeus, in the guise of a Phoencian trader had seduced his
mother, or so the story goes.
	Odysseus and Lysander, were lovers in the greek way, till the greek
church turned orthodox, and unorthodox sexual goings-on were much frowned
upon. But this was years ago, when civilization was in it's adolescence,
full of life and vital sensuality. So the boys were lovers; so what, who
cares? Centuries have lain on top of their bones.
	 But if you'd known them then when time was young.
	The room they shared was Spartan in design,a bed woven from flax;
they were poor; making a few drachmae from posing for Klytoris, the vase
painter, who likes to paint nude men, doing things that nude men like to do
to each other and had a select clientele to whom he could sell his erotic
vases. There's a Kylix he made, a drinking cup, that as you sipped your
wine revealed Odysseus and Lysander fucking their brains out with an Attic
glaze.
	Lysander, the dark one, wore a light aqua blue chiton, a simple
tunic that hung in a fold held by a silver cord round his boyish waist,
hanging over one shoulder leaving exposed one nipple, on his not yet manly
chest. The hem of the skirt just came down to meet his thighs and with only
a little imagination or a little gust of wind, or any kind of bending
motion and you could check out his cute ass and pretty cock. Odyssyeus on
the other hand was athletic, blond, muscular and usually wore a simple
linen cloak, his himation, draped over his elbows, covering his back,
gathered at his hips with a gold-braided belt matching his corn colored
hair. Hanging from his wrist by a thin leather strap, he carried his
aryballos, a globular container containing an oily ungent, a lubrication
used after excersise to anoint the body of sweaty athletes, but also served
another useful purpose, a lubricant, that when spread in the wedge between
buttocks and/or rubbed onto emergent hardons made s!
 ex that much easier.

	It was a beautiful day, and after the customary morning blow-jobs
the boys dressed, and after a breakfast of milk, bread and honey, wandered
out, up the hill to the Cypress grove where they could look down on Athens,
almost see the Adriatic sea, down in the distance. They'd brought a gourd
of red wine, feta cheese, olives grapeleaf dolmas and of course, fresh
baked bread for lunch. They'd planned to hike up Mount Olympus. They'd
tried before but it was too high, to reach the summit, but the air was
sweet and something drew them up.
	 "The home of the Gods, maybe we'll get to see one!"
	"You don't believe those old superstions, Odysseus, there just
stories for children, you'll be believing in egg-bearing rabbits next!"
	 "Maybe I'm foolish, but wouldn't it be neat to meet Zeus or
Apollo? Even you told me about that sex dream you had when Hercules plowed
your butt and you woke up, cum all over your belly!"
	"You're my Hercules, Odysseus!" said Lysander groping at
Odysseus'crotch and felt up his lover's strong penis, stroking him in a
familiar way.
	"You never get enough, do you, Lysander! Let's find a place. Over
there, beneath that olive tree, by that rock."

	They walked over, and Lysander lay over the huge boulder in
the shade of the tree. Belly against stone, he parted his legs, hugged the
rock, as Odysseus took a glob of oil from his aryballos, and applied it to
Lysander's rosebud asshole, inserting his fingers, making it slick and
slippery. Odysseus stood against his friend's back, his cock long, thick
and hard, with a slight curvature, parted the opening of Lysander's bonny
buttcheeks and the shiny pink head slipped inside, while Lysander, looking
back over his shoulder, pursed his lips, opened his ass, closed his long
lashed eyes, took a sharp intake of breath, as more of Odysseus glided into
his outstretched body. It went in so easily, it was no stranger. Odysseus
clenched his butt, driving home, til all was in, buried in the youth's
rear, all the way to the hilt. The sun beat down, as Odysseus slid back and
forth with a gentle rhythm, getting faster, more vigorous, more energetic
till the pace became quite frenetic. Lys!
 ander dribbled spit on the rock as his face ground against stone, grazing
his cheek, as if learning to shave. He raised his legs back, intertwining
them behind Odysseus' calves, his feet anchoring him, as he savored every
plunge of Odysseus' burrowing phallus, penetrating within, til both could
take no more and love-juices poured forth and spilt, trickling like a
babbling brook inside. Odysseus had fucked his friend many times before,
but each time it was more pleasurable, more sensual. They were building a
bond that never would be broken.
	And when the delicious moment of orgasm arrived, buried deep in his
dark-haired lover's ass, Odysseus cupped his arms around the boy's torso,
pulled him backward, pushed his hips forward and delivered a second load of
cum-love,filling Lysander's bowels,who greedily accepted it all, lost in a
paroxysm of lust. They fell to the ground exhausted, laughing and cuddling
and kissing, and were caught unawares, surprised to notice the stranger
standing before them. A Goatherd, older than them, only by a year or two,
twenty at most, dressed in roughshod sheep wool, leaning on a sheperd's
crook. He smiled.
	"What the fuck are you fellows's doing?" he asked innocently.
	"Errm,.. Lysander was tired... I was..er..giving him energy so we
can make it to the summit." said Odysseus, getting up and trying to clothe
his nakedness.
	"I've done that with the goats before. It gets lonely up here. But
what you fellow's were doing...doing it to another man..."
	 For a rustic he was quite handsome, needed a bath, smelled a
bit. He took off his sheep wool tunic, pulled it over his head.
	 "Show me.Teach me your Athenian ways."
	 He stood between the youths, and put his strong bronzed arms
around their shoulders. Lysander, ever curious, game for anything, put a
hand between the stranger's legs and lifted up a grimy cock.
	"They grow them big up here in the mountains!" "But he's so dirty!"
	 "We can clean him up. You've got that oil you keep in your
aryballos, let's use it for what it was really meant for."

	They lay the goatherd down, who was eager to learn city ways.  They
applied the oil and scraped it off, removing the dirt. Th unkempt
goatherder enjoyed the attention as the Athenians rubbed over his body,
especially when they took dutiful care, when they lifted his dick, and
stroked his fecund fleecy ballsac. They turned him over and worked on his
muscular back, and when it came time to clean his buns, he was delighted,
when one of them placed a rosy sucking kiss on one of his ass-cheeks. He
was doubly delighted when an oily finger was inserted between his
ass-crack, two fingers entered him and cleaned the inside too. Finally the
cleansing was over and he sat on Lysander's chiton and wondered what was to
come next.
	Odysseus straddled across his waist, let his dick touch the
stranger's chest, who watched it grow back to its regular size. The pink
end fascinated him, as it twitched as it rose and from the small slit on
the tip emerged a pearl dew-drop that glistened in the sun.
	He felt his own hardness grow erect like a soldier at attention and
slipped in the crease of Odysseus' butt. Who in turn folded his knees
against the goatherd's torso, raised himself up and sat on top of the tip
of the stranger's proud penis. But it buckled, unsure of what to
do. Odysseus put his hands back, clutched his buttcheeks, spread out the
opening his ass-hole.  "You have to stick your 'thing' up inside me. Use
your hand to help guide it in."
	This accomplished, he beginning to get the idea, penetrated with
his slick cock, Odyesseus' anal opening. Odyesseus lowered himself down
slowly, slipping down on that greasy pole, till his butt felt the tickle of
harsh wiry pubic hair, and started to rock on the Ionian's column.
	He threw his head back, his hair waving like a stallion's mane, as
he rode the man's cock up and down in the time honored fashion.  Lysander,
was starting to feel left out, so he climbed over the goatherd and bent,
pushing his butt close to stranger's face, and offered his throbbing dick
to the goatherd's mouth.
	"Suck it! You'll like it! And while Odysseus's rimming my ass, you
can fuck him at the same time. Learned this from Pythagoras, who created a
famous theorem on this position." said Lysander, the student who always
paid attention to his lessons.
	Pythagoras would've been proud to see, his postulate put into
practice, the base of the triangle, humping for all he was worth, while the
hypoteneuse, sit-fucking the base; and protruding a tongue, burying it into
the anus of the acute angled triangle Lysander was making with his youthful
body.

	Their bodies tasted fire, air and the milk-like liquid that
Archimedes had said were the basic elements of life. Odysseus's cock, the
only one not buried in an orifice nevertherless, spurted at the same time
as the others and after disengaging the sheperd had a cum-bath on his body,
which they used to clean him further. And cleansed he stood up and a
radiance shone from him. He was haloed in a golden aura, light emanated all
around. They looked again. No sheperd he, obviously. He'd undergone a
Metamorphosis. The boys were frightened, and were dumbstruck with awe, at
the beauty and virility of this ...Greek God.
	 "I am Phaeton, and you shall visit Olympus, as a reward for your
kindness to me, when you thought I was but a mere peasant."
	
	The light grew brighter, the boys felt faint, their eyes were
blurry, the air became viscous, all seemed to spin. They rubbed their eyes.
	"Welcome. Welcome to the domain of Phoebus, my father. Father of
the sun."

	They looked around. Surrounding them were lustrous pillars,
incandescent, luminous with gold and flame-red rubies. Walls of dazzling
ivory, doors carved with reliefs of silver, marble floors, and seated on an
emerald encrusted throne, robed in crimson, sat Phoebus, the sun-god. His
voice a deep brass bell, copper overtones but with the sweetness of a lyre
sounding regal but affectionate, with a timbre of compassion.
	 "What is it, my sweet boy?"
	"Say, Dad, can I borrow the golden chariot? I want to take my
friends for a drive."
	"Sure, kid. Take the keys."
	Phaeton unlocked and opened a door and indicated to Odysseus and
Lysander to follow. They stepped up to the platform of the chariot.
Golden-wheeled with spokes of silver, harnessed to a team of white
horses. The Gates opened, and Phaeton, reins in hand, urged on the chargers
into the skies, high up, high into the heavens. The four winged-horses
galloped, took off, flew up, beyond the day into the rich starry sky. The
three youths held each other tight, and experienced the ride of a
lifetime. The earth far below, they swooped and they dived, climbed to the
heavens again. They soared in the celestial majesty of night, looking down,
the Meditterenean far beneath, the zillion of Greece's islands, and even
saw the dark Italian coast, a nasty place full of barbarians.
	"You wanna take the reins, Odyesseus?"
	Odyesseus leapt at the opportunity. Phaeton took Lysander, and
knelt on the chariot's floor and gobbled down on Lysander's prized
possession.
	"This is way cool!" said Odyesseus, urging on the horses, past the
Dardenelles, the Black Sea in the distance. He turned in a meandering arc,
that led over Mycenae, while his pal was getting royally blown.
	"Time for Lysander to take control of my chargers," said Phaeton,
as Odyesseus slipped into his easy grasp. The chariot lurched from the
inexpert handling, as Lysander was inclined to watch what the other two
were up to, green with a little jealousy and air-sickness.
	Phaeton eventually dropped them off, not far from home and kissed
each goodbye. Tired, they made their way to the house, crawled into bed,
covered only with a thin white linen sheet.
	"It's been a Beautiful Day. Good night Lysander."
	"Goodnight, Odysseuth."
	They cuddled, and one thing lead to another.
	And after they fell fast asleep, cradled in each other's arms, and
slept til dawn.They watched for the sun to rise, but alas they never saw
Phaeton again. But continued to enjoy happy summer days above Athens.
