• Resumen

  • Several popular stories from the 4th-2nd centuries BC describe the lust that specific statues inspired in otherwise unknown Greek men. These accounts follow the pattern of urban legends, which suggests that they may be fictional tales created and disseminated for a particular purpose: to attract tourists and their money to cities that possessed alluring statues.
