Yeah I was gonna say that. He was famously single his entire life and is speculated to be one of the first historical examples of an asexual and aromantic person.

He's definitely not the first historical example. Artemis and Narcissus were aroace

Narcissus was not aroace, that's slapping modern ideals on what's literally an aesop about living up your own arse.

Hestia and Athena, definitely though. And Tesla.

in Thespeia of Boeotia (a city not far from Helikon) a child was born, Narcissus, very handsome and dismissive of both Eros and lovers.

Can you explain in what bizarro universe this is not asexuality? And can you also please explain what Narcissus did that meant he deserved to die?
