		We know of pederasty in Thera from the ancient rock inscriptions (7th century?) that, due to their content and the location where they were found, appear to point to a connection with gymnastics and cultic ritual (IG XII 3.536-601, 1410-1493, also Hiller v.
		Where we have a richer tradition, in the 5th century, pederasty appears in full bloom: that Themistocles and Aristeides were competing for the favors of the beautiful Stesileos (Plutarch, Themistocles 3) may be invented, but Ion (FHG II 64) testifies that Sophocles was a philomeiraks.

	William Armstrong Percy III/Pederasty and Pedagogy in Archaic Greece
		Combining impeccable scholarship with accessible, straightforward prose, Pederasty and Pedagogy in Archaic Greece argues that institutionalized pederasty began after 650 B.C., far later than previous authors have thought, and was initiated as a means of stemming overpopulation in the upper class.
		Pederasty was from the beginning both physical and emotional, the highest and most intense type of male bonding.
		These pederastic bonds, Percy believes, were responsible for the rise of Hellas and the "Greek miracle": in two centuries the population of Attica, a mere 45,000 adult males in six generations, produced an astounding number of great men who laid the enduring foundations of Western thought and civilization.

		While many of their religious stories involved homosexuality, this was not the way the myths were originally composed, and probably evolved during the classical age to include stories of Zeus' irresistible passion for his young boy cupbearer, Garrymede; and that of Zeus causing of the first homosexual act among men to occur.
		Another explanation that seems to explain pederasty may have been that the adult males were performing a type of guidance for the sons of fathers who had been killed in battle.
		This was an honorable way of pursuing pederasty and was thought of as educational and good for the younger boy by the philosophers of the day.

	Defining Ancient Greek Sexuality - Bruce S. Thornton. Eros: The Myth of Ancient Greek Sexuality. -- William Armstrong ...
		His theme is the origin and dispersion of institutionalized pedagogical pederasty, which he defines as the love of an adolescent boy between the ages of twelve and eighteen by a young man in his twenties.
		The adoption of institutionalized pederasty was a response to the overpopulation of Greece that began in the eighth century.
		The main thesis of the book, that pedagogical pederasty began in Crete and spread to the rest of Greece as a means of population control, at first glance seems compelling and is no doubt part of the explanation.

	Andrew LEAR The Idealization of Pederasty in Archaic Greek Poetry and Vase-Painting
		In 1985, Foucault declared that pederasty was "problematized" in Greek culture: it was (1985.193) "the object of a special &emdash; and especially intense &emdash; moral preoccupation." Today this concept is widely accepted: even scholars critical of Foucault accept or extend it (Cohen 1991.171-202, Hubbard 1998.49).
		In the Theognidea, pederasty is a part of the elite male's method of passing on his wisdom and loyalties to his younger associates.
		Foucault's "problematization" is not present in the evidence for pederasty in the Archaic period.

		The author also clearly differentiates "pederasty" (sex between postpubescent youth and adult males) from "pedophilia" (sex between prepubescent boys and adult males), noting the evidence showing that pedophilia was not a condoned behavior in Archaic Greece.
		This work is an excellent place to begin for anyone who wishes to trace how previous civilizations not only tolerated, but in some instances even encouraged, male-male relationships until the purveyors of the Judeo-Christian model vigorously proselytized their beliefs and shunned the behavior out of the mainstream.

		Although there are many references to the custom in both the surviving Greek and Roman literature, most scholars have been reluctant to discuss the subject, and few traditional histories of Greek life or culture by modern writers included a discussion of it until the last part of the twentieth century.
		Some individuals, notably the Marquis de Sade and Friedrich Nietzsche, earlier discussed institutionalized pederasty in Greece, but their writings on this topic were generally ignored by scholars.
		One of the questions that recent students of Greek culture have not been able to answer is whether pederasty led to androphilia, that is, homosexual relations between adults.

		Prostitution, which was an important aspect of Athenian life, had little to do with male dominance; nor was -and this is important- Greek homosexuality restricted to pederastry between a dominant adult and a shy boy.
		According to the proponents of this theory, pederasty came to being on the Dorian island Crete, where grown-up men used to kidnap adolescents.
		It is now clear that homosexuality was not restricted to pederasty, and that we have to study our evidence more carefully.
