⚱︎ On the surface of a red-figure Attica vase, some thousands years ago, an inscription reading “ο῾´ Παῖς Καλός” had been engraved. Translating as The Boy Is Beautiful this intricate detail transforms a common vessel into a declaration of homoerotic affection;
echoing the sexual liberation of a bygone era…⚱︎
