Who was the Greek God Priapus?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Priapus is a character from Greek mythology, son of Dionysus and Aphrodite, for others of Aphrodite and Hermes, or Ares, or Adonis or Zeus<\/a>. Hera, jealous of her husband, retaliated by giving the boy a grotesque appearance and a huge phallus.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cult of Priapus dates back to the time of Alexander the Great,<\/strong> coming from the Hellespont or Propontis, a symbol of the masculine sexual force and the fertility of nature. He was expelled from Olympus because he was irrepressible. In fact, when he was drunk he tried to rape the goddess Vesta. Even the donkey, symbol of lust, brayed against him to make him escape.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

There were several abuses with the Goddesses, from Hephaestus who tried to rape Athena, Pluto who succeeded with Persephone, Zeus in Metis, etc. Priapus represented the wild, instinctive eros, that which the rational mind had found so difficult to master, not only as indiscriminate sex, but also as the freedom to perceive one’s own feelings. The feeling towards women was a strongly repressed instinct. both in Greece and in Rome<\/a>, and especially in the republican era.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us not forget that even the wise Aristotle maintained that the generative principle resided exclusively in man. According to him, women were sterile, they received the male seed but did not participate in fertilization.<\/span><\/p>\n

The phallophorias were ceremonies in honor of Dionysus in which huge wooden phalluses were carried in procession, a symbol of fertility.<\/span>

The Phalophories and the donkeys<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The donkey, because of the importance it had in peasant life, and because of the analogy of its immeasurable limbs, was an important animal. The myth tells that Priapus stalked the sleeping nymph Lotis, but the braying of a donkey woke the nymph, preventing her from mating. It was difficult for the nymph to have such a heavy sleeper like her not to notice the embrace.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the myth claims that God, in revenge, demanded the annual sacrifice of a donkey<\/strong>. In reality, the sacrificed animal represented an aspect of divinity itself in earlier times. In short, he was a very proud god of his sex:<\/span><\/p>\n

Priapus and the Sexual Instinct<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Priapus is the distorted instinct of male power: the overestimation of the phallus. In this party called Phalophories, the cult was reconnected with the Dionysian rites and orgies, which were intoxications of nature, not of sex, or not in the power of sex, but as an expression of nature, therefore an impersonal power. The fact that the God was so ugly and deformed reduced the sacred side, returning it to the earthly level.<\/span><\/p>\n

His cult was associated with the agricultural world and the protection of flocks, fish, bees and orchards<\/strong>. In fact, phallic-shaped memorial stones were often used to delineate agricultural land. The tradition continued despite Christianity. Even today we find phallic stones in Italy, in the countryside of Sardinia<\/a>, Puglia and Basilicata or in the inland areas of Spain<\/a>, Greece and Macedonia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Priapus protector of gardens and to scare away thieves<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Beloved by women as a promoter of fertility, the god was later exiled from Lampsasco, his hometown, at the behest of jealous husbands. The gods intervened, leaving the men of the city impotent, so Priapus was remembered and venerated as the god of gardens, to scare away thieves and the evil eye, and promote the fertility of the garden.<\/span><\/p>\n
