Alcibiades, son of Cleinias, from the deme of Scambonidae (/ˌælsɨˈbaɪ.ədiːz/; Greek: Ἀλκιβιάδης Κλεινίου Σκαμβωνίδης, transliterated Alkibiádēs Kleiníou Skambōnidēs; c. 450 – 404 BC) historically was a Greek statesman and general. However, he has been best known posthumously as a disciple and especially the boy love (eromenos) of Socrates. This is clearly seen in Plutarch's life of Alcibiades [1], and in Plato's better-known Symposium. He has been, in post-Renaissance times, a coded symbol of pederasty. [2]
