Note: Judging by an essay by A. D. Cousins in The Explicator, even though this story alludes to classical myth and acrificial ritual, it is non-speculative. First published in the collection The Breaking Point, 1959.
Synopsis: "An older man, who describes himself as a 'classical scholar', holidays in Venice and becomes infatuated with a (very) young waiter, who he dubs Ganymede. His obsession with the boy leads him into an unwise involvement with a dubious Italian businessman and his family, and ultimately results in tragedy." -- Blair
