What we are talking about in ancient Greece was something
like a buddy system. The older man trained and defended the
younger man in battle, educated him, encouraged him - had a
kind of paternal role. No doubt if some enemy murdered the
younger one he would go to the wall avenging him, and hang
the Maltese falcon, the femme fatale, and everything
else.
