Theocritus 12

Theocritus 12. The narrator rejoices that his beloved has come after three days: spring is sweeter than winter, and just so much does the narrator rejoice. If only the Erotes blew on the lover and beloved equally; then they would be sung even down to the two hundredth generation. May the Megarians live prosperously, who received the boy-lover Diocles; even now, around his tomb, the boys hold a kissing contest, and the judge prays to Ganymede to have a mouth like a Lydian touchstone.

1) generally a weird poem. Structurally the narrator moves from addressing the boy to addressing the Megarians, without obvious transition. It's also a very "Hellenistic," learned poem -- incredibly obscure vocabulary from unusual dialects (ἀίτης from Thessaly, εἴσπνηλος from Amyclae), obscure myth (this boy-lover Diocles), and obscure rituals (the boy kissing competition at Megara). 

Hopkinson in the Loeb cites Payne and Hunter and views the poem's oddities as comic ("characterize the speaker as an effusive, insecure, perhaps comic, figure"). Maybe, though I'm not generally keen on parody. Why should incredible learnedness here be comic, and yet generally be taken very seriously in Hellenistic literature?

2) 2) The Megarians are ἀριστεύοντες ἐρετμοῖς (27). Maybe playing on epic epithets for being good with oars and ships (φιλήρετμοι, δολιχήρετμοι, ναυσικλυτοί). In this context, though, maybe ἐρετμοῖς is a double entendre for the penis (apparently Hesychius glosses the word as τὸ ἀνδρεῖον αἰδοῖον). It would be appropriate for this poem to compliment them for their skill with penises.
