Description
Alexander the Great and his extremely beautiful eromen Bagoas. Ancient authors say that the soldiers of Alexander blushed with shame when Alexander and Bagoas publicly made love. Plutarch also claims that Alexander passionately embraced Bagoas at banquets, and kissed him with love.
"For when he (Orsines) had honoured all the friends of the king with gifts beyond their highest hopes, to Bagoas, a eunuch who had won the regard of Alexander through the submission of his body [obsequio corporis], he paid no honour, and on being admonished by some that Bagoas was dear to Alexander, replied that he was honouring the friends of the king, not his harlots, and that it was not the custom of the Persians to take males in marriage who had been feminized for the sake of being sexually used [mares ducere qui stupro effeminarentur]."
— Quintus Curtius Rufus

Did they have plastic surgery, hormone blockers, estrogen, during the time of Alexander The Great? xD lol. Bagoas in this illustration definitely has the figure of a woman.
