A Little About the Author Andrew Lear
Andrew Lear is a Classicist, translator, and poet. He has an AB in English from Harvard, an MA in Creative Writing from CUNY, an MA in Classics from U. Va., and a Ph.D. in Classics from UCLA. He has held a number of research fellowships (including a Bourse Chateaubriand and a Mellon Fellowship at the Columbia Society of Fellows) and taught at several universities and colleges, including Harvard, Columbia, and Pomona College. His poetry and translations have appeared in many journals, such as Exquisite Corpse, Button, Literary Imagination, and Persephone (which he helped to found). As a Classicist, he works on issues of gender and identity in ancient Greek poetry and art.
His article on the persona of the poet Anacreon and its paradoxical relationship to Greek ideals of masculinity appeared in the American Journal of Philology 129 (2008). Images of Ancient Greek Pederasty: Boys were their Gods is his first book. His second book project, a diachronic survey of the sources of evidence for Greek pederasty, called Paiderastia: history of a social custom, from the Age of Homer to the Code of Justinian, is under revision in the light of enthusiastic reader reports at Cambridge University Press.

Some Praise
"Lear and Cantarella offer the most comprehensive, nuanced, and sophisticated interpretation of male homoerotic imagery on Greek vases. The discussions are not only informed by a profound knowledge of the literary and historical background, but also display a keen awareness of the need to read the visual language of vase-painting on its own terms."
- Alan Shapiro, Johns Hopkins University
