A rude one from Strato: AP 12.242

To get the most out of this poem, all you need to know is that Homer's habitual epithet for the goddess of the Dawn is the beautiful 'rosy-fingered'; and that Greek lovers of adolescent males preferred their boyfriends to have small penises.


Your cock was rosy-fingered yesterday;
You flaunted it, dear Alcimus; but now
You’re rosy-fisted to the elbow-joint.
