Hercules at the Feet of Omphale[1] Gustave Boulanger.
- "Hercules and Omphale," from a painting by Boulanger. Masculine virility regresses to effeminacy and homosexuality after slaying a friend. Hercules wore Omphale's clothing for three years while she dominated him and wore his lion's skin; the effect of shame and sorrow upon virility. --Sex and Sex Worship, Otto Augustus Wall (1846-1922)
