This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I found the reference. It was actually twin icons of Ganymedia and Catamitus
on either sides of the doors of the entrance to the wing where Hyacinth
resided. Ganymede and Catamitus are the Greek and Roman names of the same
minor god, a young boy who was taken by Zeus to be his beloved and the
cupbearer to the gods. Hyacinthus was also a beautiful boy in Greek
mythology, quarreled over by Apollo and the wind-god, which led to the boy
dying and being made a demigod also.
