Astylus came on horseback, with a hanger-on of his, who was also on horseback. The young man had the first growth of beard on his chin, while Gnathon (the name of the hanger-on) had been shaving for some time. Lamon, together with Myrtale and Daphnis, fell at Astylus's feet and begged him to take pity on an unfortunate old man and to snatch from his father's wrath someone who had done no wrong; at the same time he told him all the facts. Astylus was moved by their appeal. He went to the garden and saw the destruction of the flowers. He said he would appeal to his father himself and put the blame on the horses, saying that they had been tied up there and stampeded and when they got loose, had broken some things off, trampled others down, and dug others up. At this, Lamon and Myrtale prayed that he should have every happiness, while Daphnis brought him some presents – kids, cheeses, birds and their young chicks, bunches of grapes on shoots, and apples on branches. They also gave him some wine with a fine bouquet – and the wine of Lesbos is the best of all wines to drink.
Astylus complimented them on these things and turned his attention to hunting hares, as you'd expect of a rich young man who spent all his time amusing himself and had come to the country to find a new type of pleasure. But all Gnathon knew how to do was to eat and to drink till he was drunk and to have sex when he was drunk. He was nothing but a mouth and a stomach and what lies underneath the stomach. He had paid close attention to Daphnis when he brought the gifts. He had homosexual inclinations, and now that he'd found beauty of a kind you don't get in the city, he decided to make advances, thinking it would be easy to win over Daphnis, who was a goatherd. Having reached this decision, he didn't join Astylus on the hunt but went down to where Daphnis was grazing his herd. He pretended he had come to look at the goats, but actually he was looking at Daphnis. To soften him up, he complimented him on the goats, asked him to play a goatherd's tune on the pipes, and said he would quickly make him a free man, being a person of immense power.
– Longus, from Daphnis and Chloe (2nd century AD), translated from Greek by Christopher Gill (1989)
