Description: Ithyphallic Warriors Hold Hands. Bronze figurine from Kato Syme in Crete, Greece (7th Century BCE). Iraklion Archaeological Museum.
Two ithyphallic male figures hold hands. Both wear helmets, suggesting warrior status, but one is significantly shorter than the other, suggesting initiatory mentorship of a younger partner by the older. Could this represent the kind of pederastic initiation rites attested for Crete by Ephorus (2.16)?
