Thamyris Green
Thamyris Green was born in the December of 1855, the result of an unwanted pregnancy, and left on the steps of Eros' temple in Edinburgh, and he slipped through several Hellenistic children's homes until settling at the Aeginan Home in London at the age of 9.
A tall, fat young man with handsome skin the colour of varnished mahogany, he has a small mouth with plump lips, and people are often surprised by the depth and volume of the singing voice that rings from within. His hair is formed of loose, natural ringlets, black with streaks of chestnut running through them, and he has very large, dark eyes.
Thamyris is a musician and a priest of Aphrodite.
Here, safe in the salted warmth of my bathwater, the soap moving over my flesh, I thought of Thamyris’ rounded jaw, his glittering, mischievous eyes, his small mouth, the width of his fine, well-moulded throat, the strength of the apple that showed in it. When he sang, if you looked very closely, you could see the quiver of his lip at any sustained note or another, and if you put out your hand and touched his throat, as I did many times, you could feel the very motion of the notes themselves, could feel his flesh quiver as any instrument does when making music, the same as you might touching the frame of a lyre, or the box of a guitar.
