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)?
