He does that to assert the nobility of true love between men. Among its many meanings, David is partly about sex.

It illustrates a Greek drawing gay, retold by the Roman poet Ovid, of the overconfident youth Phaeton who has borrowed the flying chariot in which his father, the sun god, crosses the sky from dawn to dusk.
