"Cantarella (Greek law, U. of Milan) and Lear (classics, DePauw U.) explore Greek pederasty as a central characteristic of ancient Greek culture through a focus on the depiction of pederasty on vase paintings. Chapters discuss courtship, ideals and idealization, consummation, pederasty and the gods, Kalos-inscriptions, vase dating, and fragments. An appendix contains a list of objects containing scenes of pederasty and other male homosexual activities, based on the research of the late Professor Keith DeVries. With accessible analysis of the themes and the useful black-and-white illustrations, this title will be useful to scholars in the field.
