1) "Three times the sun had ended the year, in water Pisces, and Orpheus had abstained from the love of women, either because things ended badly for him, or because he had sworn to do so. Yet, many felt a desire to be joined with the poet, and many grieved at rejection. Indeed, he was the first of the Thracian people to transfer his love to young boys, and joy their brief springtime, and early flowering, this side of manhood." - from Ovid's //The Metamorphoses, Book X//
