Alcibiades (Socrates’ boyfriend) speaking in The Symposium:

You see that Socrates is erotically attracted to beautiful boys, and is always hanging around them in a state of excitement…This behavior is just his outer covering, like that of the statues of Silenus.But if you could open him up and look inside, you can’t imagine my fellow-drinkers, how full of moderation he is! You should know that he doesn’t care at all if someone is beautiful - he regards this with unbelievable contempt… Then I threw my arms around this really god-like and amazing man, and lay there with him all night long…After I’d done this, he completely triumphed over my good looks - and despised, scorned, and insulted them…I swear to you by the gods, and by the goddesses, that when I got up the next morning I had no more slept with Socrates than if I’d been sleeping with my father or elder brother. an inspiration to us all
