Minotaur Unveiled: The Truncated Account of Adult-Child Erotic Attraction (Essays on Law, Policy and Psychiatry, Vol. 5) is a historical assessment of adult-child sexual relations as they are to be found not only in historical and forensic literature, but also in the poetic writings of many famous authors around the world. The study produces a quite stable basis of cross-cultural evidence for the fact that pedophile attraction by adults toward children, and perhaps as a correlate, gerontophilic attraction by children toward adults, is a software that was installed early in the human computer, so to speak in the cradle of patriarchy, if not much earlier in the cradle of matriarchy.
