Young Damien's life is in turmoil. He must keep on working so he can help pay for his mother’s medical expenses. However –
The Blue Boys Club where he was earning extra money dancing in drag has been set on fire. His boss’s son appears to be obsessed with his genitals and to top it all off, Sean the young queen who helped Damien get his cock and balls taped up for the drag show has been abducted by a crazy sadist.
On the upside, Brad, the boy who lives next door to Damien, introduces him to the legend of the Theban 300, young gay soldiers who more than two thousand years ago in Ancient Greece became the most respected army in the world. They were invincible because each soldier fought alongside his boyfriend. Each warrior was fighting not for his own life but for that of his lover.
Excerpt:
I went over to the side of the stage area where the shadows were deep and black and started to undress. As I was peeling off my shirt and jeans I heard the most heavenly music. Of course it was the boy next door at the keyboard. As he played, Brad turned towards me and gave me the most glorious smile as his music seemed to transport me into a magical dimension.
From the sound of the music that Brad was improvising, I knew that he was willing me to create a sense of magic on stage. Somehow the notes transported me back to Ancient Greece. I thought of the story the boy next door was writing about the lad from Vienna who goes on a journey through the ruins of Classical Greece, falls in love with the ghosts of the beautiful boys who had inspired the statues and ends up making love to shepherd boys in the shadows of temples on Mount Olympus. Then I sensed a rising urgency in the music and I knew that Brad’s thoughts had turned to the Theban Three Hundred, the Sacred Band.
All at once I was filled with a sense of thrilling courage which was unlike me most of the time and I peeled my jocks off as well. Now I’m certainly not an exhibitionist and I knew that I hadn’t been endowed with the biggest cock on the planet but that had never really worried me. Nor had it worried any of the boys I’d had my first forays into experimental sex with. Besides I knew that attitudes towards genital size were dictated by fashion. Although in our own age massive cocks are all the rage, this certainly wasn’t the case in the classical age. In Ancient Greece it was the boys with dainty cocks and balls who were the most admired. Enormous cocks were thought to be rather gross and a man with eleven inches would have been thought to have been positively disabled.
As the piano notes seemed to fill my soul, I very slowly moved out into the light. There was a gasp when my audience realized that I was dancing completely nude and then a big cheer went up from the surfer boys and the queens.
As I danced visions seeped into my mind of the boys who so long ago fought and made love on the plains of Ancient Greece as members of the Sacred Band and I wrapped myself in the glimmering cascades of piano music. I thought then that we could do anything.
