IMAGES OF ANCIENT GREEK PEDERASTY: BOYS WERE THEIR GODS •A Lear & E Cantarella

Description: Images of AncientGreek Pederasty Boys were their Gods Andrew Lear and Eva Cantarella ___________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS This lavishly illustrated book brings together, for the first time, all of the different ways in which vase-painting portrays or refers to pederasty, from scenes of courtship, foreplay, and sex, to scenes of Zeus with his boy-love Ganymede, to painted inscriptions praising the beauty of boys. The book shows how painters used the language of vase-painting to cast pederasty in an idealizing light, portraying it as part of a world in which beautiful elite males display praiseworthy attitudes, such as moderation, and engage in approved activities, such as hunting, athletics, and the symposium. The book also incorporates a comprehensive catalogue of relevant vase-paintings, compiled by noted archaeologist Keith DeVries. It is the most comprehensive treatment available of an institution that has few modern parallels. ABOUT THIS BOOK Hardback in very good condition. The book block is stitched, tight, square and well bound with no noticeable printing / publishing imperfections. Aesthetically, there are no dogeared pages, folds, tears, underlinings or previous owner’s name and addresses. Please check pictures and don't hesitate to ask if you have any queries! 161
