So Fiery Is His Seed
A Lost Poem from Book XII of the Greek Anthology
So fiery is his seed, they say,
that, in his potency, he kindles
men and women both,
and they bring forth. Well,
so they say. Man to man,
I'd gladly put it to the test.
We won't know till we try.
Compiled between the 10th and 14th centuries, the Greek Anthology preserves Greek poetry from the Classical and early Byzantine periods. Book XII is well-known for its homoerotic verse.
