RE: Crazy Sex Facts From Ancient Times
In fact, the theater in athens was sacred to Dionysus, god of wine and fertility. During his festivals they would carry around giant penises!

Thanks for this interesting post, keep on steeming on!
According to my reading - at least for the comic plays - the actors walked around with over-sized phalluses hanging from their crotches. Anyway, that's how it's going to be in my graphic novel from the era - I don't think they were walking around with dildos in hand. :)
I plan to show a scene from Aristphanes' Clouds.
I read they had giant phallice statues! For the parade at least at the great dionysia. And the staff thyrsos is a staff with a pincone on top also sacred to dionysus and symbolizing a penis haha. That sounds like a pretty damn cool graphic novel, when you publish id like to check it out. I love history.
Well, there were definitely phalluses everywhere. Herms were sacred statues with the head of Hermes, and an erect dildo sticking out of the column. :)
woah thats interesting. The greeks and romans sure were interesting, not afraid of penises by all means.
