They are grouped by categories named “scenarios,” of which four principal types are identified, “Hybristic erastes;” “Enkratic erastes and collaborative eromenos;” “Imprudent erastes and eromenos;” and “Hybristic eromenos.” Each scenario type is labeled according to the dominant dynamic of the stories in the group.
