First sentence: The second-century AD writer Athenaeus presents (in his rambling monograph Deipnosophistae or A Banquet of Learning) a number of anecdotes about the Greek tragedian Sophocles, including the rather scandalous story of his successful ploy to kiss a beautiful youth serving wine at a banquet (Athen. 603E).
