Marc Arami suggested:
...or Pasicrates, who may see in Latro the ideal victim (and whose continued
sexual exploitation may be the source of Latro's deep depression at the end
of ARETE, it being sensed but not remembered by our hero)
Crush interjected:
I was pretty sure that Pasicrates never had his way with Latro, although he
wanted to. He tried to "force his hand" and lost it. I don't think see any
hint that he was successful after Latro's return from the North. Are there
some things specifically you noted? Latro's depression was surely due to the
death of his lover, the Amazon (whose name I can't remember right now).

Jerry Friedman defered:
Don't mind me.  I'd forgotten that incident and was believing Robert.
I'll leave this one to people who have the book.

Crush responds:
Actually I was directing my question to all readers and participants of this
thread. Important details in Wolfe's works frequently walk right under my
nose (which is no surprise to some).
