Normally I would be skeptical of someone who dances under the name Bagoas, as after all that's filling some pretty big shoes, but a friend of mine linked to this guy and oh. Just oh.
He could be my Bagoas. Be sure to watch all the way through.

In any case, I am awake now. Yow.
Is Bagoas a historical name, by any chance?
Yes, Bagoas is a historical person, and a main character in my book Stealing Fire. Which you might like, especially if you read slash.
I mostly like books that put a lot of effort into worldbuilding, like Dune or Discworld, or stories that otherwise really show off the setting. And I've always had a love for Ancient Egypt, so I might check it out even so.
On a different note, still about Bagoas, though I have no idea about dancing abilities of Jaye Davidson (he played Ra in the original Stargate) but I always thought that he would make perfect Bagoas. What do you think?
I dance, and I didn't think the spine could move quite like that until he did it. Definitely Bagoas.
Found this illo on dA, which I think you might like.
Amazing muscle control, but not for me. 'Tribal fusion belly dancing'. Now there's a phrase I've never heard before.

Let me know if you have any other books coming out =) I'm always looking for new reading material on this topic.

I haven't done another book with Bagoas, but there's a short story with him in my anthology, The Ravens of Falkenau and other stories, about Alexander's eventual funeral in Alexandria, thirty years later. He's not the main character, but of course he's arranging the procession and making sure everything is perfect. As he would, of course. :)
