ἔφηβος
(ephebe)

Ephebos (often in the plural epheboi), also anglicised as ephebe (plural: ephebes) or archaically ephebus (plural: ephebi), is a Greek word for an adolescent age group or a social status reserved for that age in Antiquity.

FOREWORD

Pornography or porn is the explicit portrayal of sexual subject matter for the purposes of sexual arousal and erotic satisfaction.
A distinction is often made between erotica (the portrayal of sexuality with high-art aspirations, focusing also on feelings and emotions) and pornography (the depiction of acts in a sensational manner, with the entire focus on the physical act, so as to arouse quick intense reactions).
Defining erotic art is difficult since perceptions of both what is erotic and what is art fluctuate.
In Europe, starting with the Renaissance, there was a tradition of producing erotica for the amusement of the aristocracy.
In the early 16th century, the text 'I Modi' was an woodcut album created by the designer Giulio Romano, the engraver Marcantonio Raimondi and the poet Pietro Aretino.
In 1601 Caravaggio painted the "Amor Vincit Omnia," for the collection of the Marquis Vincenzo Giustiniani.
The tradition was continued by other, more modern painters, such as Fragonard, Courbet, Millet, Balthus, Picasso, Edgar Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec.
Essentialy a traditional work of figurative, classical art is concerned with composition, form, colour, texture and other technical matters, the subject being of secondary consideration - whereas a pornographic image is simply concerned with producing sexual arousal in the viewer.
The erotic art exhibited below exclusively features the male nude.
In order to avoid cliched, stilted and meaningless poses, many compositions depict sexual foreplay or sexual acts - and the settings have a strong classical bias, as homoeroticism was a strong element in Ancient Greek and Roman culture.
Do not view these images if you may be offended by explicit erotic nudity.
These images shouls not be viewed by those below the age of 21 years.

'σάτιρος'

In Greek mythology, satyrs (in Roman mythology known as fauns) are a troop of male companions of Pan and Dionysus that roamed the woods and mountains.

In myths they are often associated with pipe-playing.

The satyrs' chief was Silenus, a minor deity associated (like Priapus) with fertility.

These characters can be found in the only complete remaining satyr play, Cyclops, by Euripides, and the fragments of Sophocles' Ichneutae (Tracking Satyrs).

The satyr play was a short, lighthearted tailpiece performed after each trilogy of tragedies in Athenian festivals honoring Dionysus.

There is not enough evidence to determine whether the satyr play regularly drew on the same myths as those dramatized in the tragedies that preceded.

The groundbreaking tragic playwright Aeschylus is said to have been especially loved for his satyr plays, but none of them have survived.

In earlier Greek art, satyrs appear as old and ugly, but in later art, especially in works of the Attic school, this savage characteristic is softened into a more youthful and graceful aspect.

This transformation or humanization of the Satyr appears throughout late Greek art, although their rampantly sexual nature is retained.

A very humanized Satyr is depicted in a work of Praxiteles known as the "Resting Satyr".
