:It's not totally clear what the source for this material is, but the list of male lovers seems to be coming from Plutarch's Erotikosso a good many of these relationships are late literary invetions and not widely attested. I'm inclined to get rid of most of them, but not allHylas is Herakles' eromenos in Apollonios' Argonautica, if I remember rightbut I'm guessing that Admetus, Jason, and Nestor are rarely, if ever, said to be Herakles' lovers.
