This article deals with the importance of paederasty in political life of Archaic Greece. It shows that paederasty was present since the beginning of Greek history, in many cities, and at the highest levels of society. This study allows one to say that paederasty is not an "historical accident," late in history and geographically localisable, but is part of the self-definition of Greece since its remotest past.
本文论述了娈童癖在古希腊政治生活中的重要性。研究表明,自希腊历史伊始,在许多城邦以及社会的最高阶层中,娈童癖现象就已存在。这项研究使人们可以说,娈童癖并非一种“历史偶然”,并非历史晚期且局限于特定地域的现象,而是自希腊最远古时期起其自我定义的一部分。
