		I am Hymenaios — sometimes called Hymenaeus or Hymen — and one of the host of Erotes who serve Aphrodite.
		Some say I am Aphrodite’s son by Dionysos (and therefore full brother to Priapus), although I am more usually described as the son of Apollo and one of the Muses, either Kalliope, Ourania, or Terpsikhore.
		I am usually represented as a winged and effeminately beautiful youth —somewhat taller and with a more serious expression than my often giddy companion Eros — wearing saffron robes and carrying either a torch to light the bridal procession, or a lute with which to sing the hymenaios, wedding hymn.

		TIMOTHY, my son, this charge I commit to you in accordance with the prophetic utterances which pointed to you, that inspired by them you may wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience.
		By rejecting conscience, certain persons have made shipwreck of their faith, among them Hymenaios and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.
		I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire but by good deeds, as befits women who profess religion.
