The priest stepped forward. He was by no means an incompetent speaker, an emulator in particular of Aristophanic comedy. He began to speak in the urbane style of comedy, attacking the sexual integrity of Thersandros. "To insult the goddess by such an uncontrolled harangue against her clean-living servants is the work of an impure mouth. Not only here but everywhere he goes, this man's tongue is coated with rank insolence. As a youth he was on intimate terms with many well-endowed men, spending his youthful beauty all on them. His looks excluded piety; he acted the role of chastity, pretending a very hot desire to be cultivated. When he found men who would exercise him to this end, he would kneel at their feet and bend over double to please them. He left his father's house and rented a little bedroom where he set up shop, specializing in the old Greek lays (Homer, I mean), and was receptive to all who might serve him and give him what he wanted. He was supposed to be developing his mind, but this was just a cover for a dissolute life. In the gymnasiums we couldn't help but notice how he oiled his body, that special way he shinnied up the pole, and how in wrestling with the boys he always clung more tightly to the ones who were more manly."
– Achilles Tatius, from Leucippe and Clitophon (2nd century AD), translated from Greek by John J. Winkler (1989)
