Epic last of the wine moment

[aniitahhhah]

Thinking about how in The Last of the Wine. Alexias is courted by sexy ass Charmides but ends up with lame ass Lysis 😵‍💫

I gotta re read this book at some point, literally the only thing I remember was Alexias being obsessed with Sokrates and being like bestfriends with Xenophon lmaoo 😭🙏

“He was said too to have been among the notable beauties of his year, which one could still believe without trouble. I saw his name every day, since it was written on the base of the statue: Lysis, son of Demokrates of OExone.”

—The Last of the Wine, Mary Renault

Last of the Wine experts please help!

Can someone tell me what is going on here - it's the bit when Alexias cuts his foot while he is swimming with Lysis. I thought I was used to weird internal monologue after years of reading The Charioteer, but this has me stumped......
