   Summary

   In Virgil's biographies we can find these words: "He loved Cebes and Alexander most of all. Alexander was a gift to him from Asinius Pollio; the second poem of his Bucolics refers to him as "Alexis." Nor was the other one unlearned; in fact, Cebes was a poet as well." The plot of the fanfic covers the period of the composition of the Bucolics. Unfortunately, there is no further information about their love.
