	In classical antiquity there were many known [[pederastic]] relationships. Though most involved adult men and adolescent boys, the age difference between the two could be as little as a couple of years, and an older youth (neaniskos) could take a younger one as his beloved.<ref>Homoeroticism in the Biblical World By Martti Nissinen, Kirsi Stjerna; p67</ref> In some of these cases both members became well-known historical figures, while in others, only one of the two may have, or only the relationship itself. The vast majority presumably never attracted the attention of any author whose writings have survived.		In classical antiquity there were many known [[pederastic]] relationships.

	Though all such relationships were by definition homoerotic in nature, the individuals involved did not identify themselves as [[homosexual]]s -- at the time no one did -- but rather as ordinary men with ordinary, healthy desires. The nature of the relationships ranged from overtly sexual to what is now referred to (inaccurately) as platonic, in accordance with ancient ethical and philosophical standards.<ref> Hubbard, Thomas K. "Introduction" to ''Homosexuality in Greece and Rome: A Sourcebook of Basic Documents''. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2003. pg. 9.</ref>		Though all such relationships were by definition homoerotic in nature, the individuals involved did not identify themselves as [[homosexual]]s -- at the time no one did -- but rather as ordinary men with ordinary, healthy desires.

	In the following list the pairs are listed in chronological order, and the name of the older partner precedes that of the younger. Though many more men are known to have engaged in such relationships, only those instances in which the name of the younger partner is known are included. In keeping with ancient traditions which promoted chaste pederastic relationships (See [[Philosophy of Greek pederasty]]) included below are also relationships in which there is evidence of an erotic component even in the absence of actual sexual relations.
