{"product_id":"images-of-ancient-greek-pederasty-andrew-lear-9780415564045","title":"Images of Ancient Greek Pederasty: Boys Were Their Gods","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Lear, Eva Cantarella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415564042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415564045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Andrew Lear","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946603774207,"sku":"9780415564045","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b87da88e-f1c0-43f5-8a0f-3d9eb2158445.jpg?v=1681514083","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/images-of-ancient-greek-pederasty-andrew-lear-9780415564045","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
