Description:In the classical Athens of Plato and Pericles, erotic relations between adolescents and adult men--what we now revile as pedophilia--was the marker of manliness; a clear example of how concepts of masculinity shift.

A fascinating read for men and women alike, it examines masculine identities that emerged in the past and continue into the present, such as the warrior, the democratic man, the craftsman, the self-made man of business, as well as ethnic forms of manliness.
