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.
