Erastes is a penname of a female author who lives in Norfolk, UK. "He" started to write homoerotic historical fiction because he couldn't find any other than the very few that were on the market, such as Gaywyck by Vincent Virga and the novels of Mary Renault. Erastes' goal is to drag gay romance into the mainstream.

Other Information

Erastes/Eromenos

In the pederastic tradition of Classical Athens, the eromenos (Greek ἐρόμενος, pl. "eromenoi") was an adolescent boy who was in a love relationship with an adult man, known as the erastes (ἐραστής). The relationship was typically of a pedagogical nature and while it was also typically affectionate and passionate it was not necessarily sexual.
