Yes, I was thinking of Swift, thanks for bringing him up, but my own library is pretty thin...

Alcibiades was famously handsome and rich and debauched (and a very close friend of Socrates.) He got himself in trouble for, allegedly, lopping off the, er, members from the Hermes statues in Athens... (Sort of like obscene garden gnomes...)
