A very interesting Masters Thesis paper I found on Academia "A PORTRAIT OF THE YOUNG MAN (NEANISKOS) AS HERO IN THE GOSPEL OF MARK": A thesis by Theodore Louis Trost shows the last sandwich to include the young man that gets stripped naked with the young man who is in the tomb dressed in white linen. It's quite good.
