ABSTRACT
This book does not, of course, attempt to give a complete picture of the representation of pederasty in vase-painting. Instead, it is an introduction to the iconographies with which vase-painting represented pederasty and the implications of those iconographies. Our goal, in writing it, was not only to show our readers the vases that we know and explain them but also to prepare them to interpret vases they come upon without our assistance, in any of the many places where vases are found.
