Description: Grave Stele with Erastes, Eromenos and Rooster, c. 465 BCE. Rhodes, Archaeological Museum, Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights, Γ 1640.

A boy, who appears to be 12-13 years old, holds a fighting cock (a typical love gift) and looks up adoringly at the youth who has presented it to him. Grave markers such as this one usually show the deceased with the person or persons who are closest to him or her, normally family members. This is the only known example of a stele showing a pederastic couple. It is unclear whether the deceased is the youth or the boy, but the former seems more likely. The stele stands about 2 meters high, so the figures are life size.
