"Worse than a slave-trader, the Greek man Panionios of Chios about 2500 years ago made his living by purchasing beautiful young men and castrating them. He then sold the castrated, enslaved men in Sardis and Ephesus to Persians seeking eunuchs. That’s especially horrific trafficking in enslaved men."

"Panionios purchased and castrated Hermotimos of Pedasa. He then sold him to the Persians in the Lydian capital Sardis. The Median general Harpagus had conquered Pedasa and taken Hermotimos captive. Hermotimos perhaps temporarily regarded himself as relatively fortunate. In ancient war, victors commonly killed all the men and took only women and children as captives.[1]"

"Hermotimos’s native Pedasa was just inland of the Anatolian city Halicarnassus. Halicarnassus was associated with vigorous promotion of gender equality. Adopting the gender wisdom of the great Lydian king Croesus, the woman-hero Artemisia took up the stressful job of ruling Halicarnassus. She herself fought for the Persians, guilefully feigning allegiance to the Greeks when advantageous.[2] She scarcely avoided death amid massive numbers of men killed in the colossal Persian loss at the Battle of Salamis. Amid such progress toward gender equality, Hermotimos might have hoped as a captive man to become the royal husband of a rich, powerful ruling woman.[3] In stark contrast to that hope, he was castrated and sold as a eunuch slave."

"Given as a gift to Xerxes, ruler of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, Hermotimos rose to became Xerxes’s favorite eunuch. Hermotimos served as guardian of some of Xerxes’s sons. He also traveled widely on business and became wealthy. Hermotimos nonetheless lacked a position reproductively equal to that of wife of a rich, ruling warrior man."
