  • andrew lear-Images of Ancient Greek Pederasty: webpage for the book; links to reviews by Wiliams, Hubbard, and Goldhill
  • Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2009.04.65: Andrew Lear, Eva Cantarella, Images of Pederasty: Boys Were Their Gods. London/New York: Routledge, 2008. Pp. xvii, 262. $115.00. reviewed by Craig Williams This book meets a real need. The very fact that the authors' analysis is based on study of approximately 1000 vases (111 of which they illustrate) makes Images of Ancient Greek Pederasty a valuable resource, and an appendix including a catalogue of 647 vases compiled by the late Keith DeVries only adds to its value. The book greatly expands the amount of material available to nonspecialists , demonstrating that there are considerably more pederastic scenes in the surviving vases than has generally been believed, and its balanced and articulate readings of the material--the authors carefully describe recurring patterns, make allowance for exceptions, discuss alternative interpretation s, and do not press when the evidence only goes so far--make it a significant contribution to our understanding of Greek pederasty.

We can discern two approaches: The historical approach: scholars are looking for the (hypothetical) roots of pederasty in very ancient initiation rites and try to reconstruct a development. Usually, a lot of fantasy is required, because our sources do not often refer to these ancient rites.The synchronistic approach: scholars concentrate upon homosexuality in fifth and fourth-century Athens, where it was integral part of social life.In the present article, we will use the second approach, although we won't ignore the first one. There are many sources of evidence: lyrical poetry, vases, statues, myths, philosophical treatises, ....
