Summary/Abstract: A recurrent presence in literature and art, the handsome Hylas, the youth abducted by the water nymphs, is portrayed in words which suggest the glowing white skin, the body’s striking candor, the fine hair, the innocence and juvenile vulnerability – each and every one attributes of a beauty in full bloom: a pubescent, delicate, effeminate charm.
