_Paiderastia_ in Greek poetry has also been studied by Paul Brandt, _Jahrbuch fuer sexuelle Zwischenstufen_, vols.
viii and ix (1906 and 1907), and by Otto Knapp (_Anthropophyteia_, vol.iii, pp.

254-260) who seeks to demonstrate the sensual side of _paiderastia_.

On the other hand, Licht, working on somewhat the same lines as Bethe (_Zeitschrift fuer Sexualwissenschaft_, August, 1908), deals with the ethical element in _paiderastia_, points out its beneficial moral influence, and argues that it was largely on this ground that it was counted sacred.

Licht has also published a learned study of _paiderastia_ in Attic comedy (_Anthropophyteia_, vol.vii, 1910), and remarks that "without _paiderastia_ Greek comedy is unthinkable." _Paiderastia_ in the Greek anthology has been fully explored by P.Stephanus (_Jahrbuch fuer sexuelle Zwischenstufen_, vol.ix, 1908, p.

213).
