Inscriptions carved in a rock on the Greek island of Thera and dating from the 6th or 7th century BC have homosexual contents. Originally considered a testimony to ritual sacred acts, they were described by Marrou (1956) and Dover (1978) as vulgar pornographic graffiti. Arguments against this view and in favor of the formal ritual interpretation are proposed. A final explanation is suggested, conforming to local customs and the general conceptions of ancient Greek boy-love.
刻在希腊圣托里尼岛岩石上、可追溯至公元前6世纪或7世纪的铭文有同性恋相关内容。这些铭文最初被视为神圣仪式行为的见证,但马鲁(1956年)和多佛(1978年)将其描述为低俗的色情涂鸦。本文提出了反对这种观点并支持形式仪式解读的论据。同时给出了一个符合当地习俗和古希腊男同性恋普遍观念的最终解释。
