Scholarship identifies Athis and Lycabas as lovers: "Cf. Ovid Metamorphoses 5.47-73, where two youths, modelled on Virgil's Nisus and Euryalus, are called Lycabas and Athis; the latter is sixteen years old (bis adhuc octonis integer annis) and egregius forma (he is also oriental, haling from the Ganges). As Bömer 1976 notes ad loc., Lycabas and Athis, unlike the Virgilian pair, are manifestly ἐραστής and ἐρώμενος; cf. Lycabas, iunctissimus illi et comes et veri non dissimulator amoris." from David Konstan's paper, "The Pre-Pubescent Lover in Greek Literature" [1]
