Eurybarus and the Lamia
This is a classic "dashing hero saves sacrificial virgin from dragon" type story, except gay.
When Delphi is threatened by a Lamia, the locals decide to sacrifice a young man named Alcyoneus to the monster. However, a hero named Eurybaros happens to pass by, sees the youth, and falls in love with him. He takes his place, kills the monster, saves the city. Happy end.
