I have studied ancient sexuality and gender (did my MA diss last year on gender nonconformity in ancient greece) and i can recommend a few books that I think look at pederasty, or at least would be able to point you in that kind of direction:
Masterson, Rabinowitz and Robson (2014) Sex in Antiquity: Exploring Gender and Sexuality in the Ancient World - a very good collection that contains more modern views and plenty of extra jumping off points for your own research
Davidson (1997) Courtesans and Fishcakes: the Consuming Passions of Classical Athens; Davidson (2001) Dover, Foucault and Greek Homosexuality: Penetration and the Truth of Sex; Davidson (2007) The Greek and Greek Love: a Radical Reappraisal of Homosexuality in Ancient Greece - pretty fundamental works but his views can be a bit contentious because he vehemental disagrees with Dover.
McClure (2002) Sexuality and Gender in the Classical World: Readings and Sources - another good collection
Halperin (1990) One Hundred Years of Homosexuality and Other Essays on Greek Love - a good overview
Halperin, Winkler, and Zeitlin (1990) Before Sexuality: the Construction of Erotic Experience in the Ancient Greek World - honestly i dont remember what this collection was about, but Halperin, Winkler and Zeitlin are big names in gender and sexuality research and this book was in my MA dissertation.
Skinner (2014) Sexuality in Greek and Roman Culture - might contain some things but can't guarantee on this one
I could probably find some better sources with more time, but these are the ones I can find easily (by looking at the bibliography of my diss and desperately trying to remember which had entries on pederasty)
Thanks a ton! I’m actually super interested in Ancient Greek gender nonconformity after some of the erotic portrayals of Hermaphrodites I saw in Campania.
Really appreciate you reaching out with the recommendations! Sounds like an interesting dissertation.

The Minotaur was named that because he was the son of King Minos. Anyone with a bull head has to be named after their dad, like the Kyletaur or something.
all the photos of him are like this, I love that this guy understood he had been born with the face of a wizard or axe murderer and just leaned fully into it
The streets of Pompeii seem to go on forever. This is the only picture I could take that captured that feeling. Breathtaking place; it makes you emotional about the people who lived there.
Only got worse when my friend pointed out the grooves in the fountain from people leaning on it to drink.
every time i remember that someone wrote a book and mentioned my blog in it i am so blown away like. i am a little weirdo on the internet but i've got my crowd of fellow weirdos who like me. makes me feel like a little woolly worm drinking a cup of warm cider in the winter
does anyone else ever like. completely forget the commentary exists when translating something? like every time i'm reading greek i get incredibly lost and confused and i'm like "oh. there's no way out of this." as if the commentary wouldn't literally answer all my questions if i would just flip to it
“I want to create and make things and I will make patterns and tapestries and works never seen before and I will do that because I choose to not because you chose it for me. I am a maker, first and last. I am the teller of my tale”
