The City of Alexandria, Egypt
100 BCE
The House of the Golden Lotus was the richest and most opulent pleasure house in all of Ptolemaic Alexandria but all things must start somewhere and in this case it started with the dream of a handsome young man who decided to devote his life to the pursuit of erotic pleasures.
His name is Zoser Antimachos, half Egyptian, half Greek. His father, a high government official has tired of his sons libertine pursuits and given him a small fortune in coin, then he washed his hands of the boy.
"Never darken my door again you good for nothing wastrel !
See what vile ends you'll meet..., etc, etc."
The usual stuff.
Zoser spent a year or two trying out every Courtesan in this 'City of Courtesans' and sometimes even a street whore or two for variety. He realized quickly, that at this rate he would soon be on the streets himself.
Why buy the cut flower when you can grow the seeds he thought on one morning of rare lucidness. Thus the idea for the Golden Lotus was born.
Buying the dilapidated palace of a lesser Ptolemaic princeling he set his chief Designer and Architect Imho, to work on it, sparing no expense in making it the 'Show Place of the City'.
He undertook himself then the strenuous task of finding the seeds, for although he fully intended to stock the House with accomplished women, he also wanted to spice the selection with up and comers of his own choice.
This is what led him to the squalid Village on a Nile backwater not far from the City of Busiris.
_________________________________________________
This is the first part of my own 'Alexandrian Quartet', in which Zoser discovers the beautiful peasant girl Beryl and instructs her so well in the Art of Love that she becomes the most sought after courtesan in all of Alexandria.
In part one there are but two players, myself as Zoser and Beryl as, well...Beryl.
In parts to come we will expand to include a
much larger cast.
Hope you enjoy...
