"Other figures of virile and beautiful Greek youth appear on Greek pots and vases. A kylix in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge shows a young athlete stooping in his bath. The rapturous motto around the dish says, 'The boy, yes, the boy is beautiful.'"
- 'What turns women on', Germaine Greer in Esquire, 1973.
