Abstract

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.
