Description: Minoan Boy And Youth In Military Dress. Chieftain Cup. Black steatite vase from Agia Triada, Crete (15th–14th Century BCE). Iraklion Archaeological Museum.

A slightly older and taller youth with a spear faces a younger partner holding a sword. The top-knot was characteristic of Minoan adolescents. Does this represent a pederastic warrior pair? Could it suggest that the pederastic initiatory rites described by Ephorus (2.16) have a Minoan provenance?
