>scattered sentence or two descriptions from different writers over many centuries
No I posted those specifically to address your point about the meaning of the word Eros. Yes the Greeks sometimes used the word Eros to denote non-sexual forms of desire (rather in the way I might say I have a craving or a lust for certain foods or experiences), but I cannot think of a single occasion where Eros for a human being could be interpreted as non-romantic or non-sexual. No Greek ever writes of a mother’s Eros for her children..
>decorated pottery already pretty much exclusively belonged to aristocrats
I might be wrong but I thought it was the opposite: decorated pottery was extraordinarily cheap and common.
>a rounding error was dedicated to depictions of sexuality period
I don’t know what that means. In any case, according to the academic literature I’ve seen, at least 1,000 artefacts contain visual depictions of pederasty, and many more have love inscriptions to beautiful boys. Pic related.

Yes it does.
