In Greek mythology, Priapus (Ancient Greek Πρίαπος / Príapos) is a fertility god is a god ithyphallic, protector of gardens and herds. His equivalent in Roman mythology is called in reality Mutinus Mutunus, although it is often cited as Priapus. It recognizes Priapus by his gigantic penis constantly erect. He was born in Lampsacus on the Hellespont in Asia Minor. He is the son of Dionysus and Aphrodite (some traditions give rather Hermes or Adonis or Zeus for father). Other authors of the older generations, see him as a Titan which Hera had entrusted the task of teaching the use of arms to Ares. It is usually depicted as grotesque, filled with an enormous erect phallus ever. The Romans often put in their garden statues coarse wood (Hermas) fig, painted vermilion, Priapus representative to serve as a scarecrow. Priapus is obscenity personified. This deformity is due to the malice of Hera, jealous of beauty of Aphrodite. Ashamed, she abandons the child. He is rescued by shepherds who appreciate its hardiness. Priapus is equivalent Mutinus. Priapus removes the evil eye and protects its statue orchards, but he knows neither pleasure nor fertility. He likes that he sacrificed a donkey: one night he was violating Hestia, the goddess is warned by a braying. For the Feast of Hestia, however, the donkeys were crowned with flowers. A different explanation is given of his hatred for donkeys: it originated in a quarrel with a donkey Dionysos with speech, as a reward for service. The reason is the relative size of their virile member. Priapus has the upper hand and beats the ass to death. (Source Wikipedia).
Beautiful blue print on thick laid paper. Wanted for two very nice erotic frontispieces it contains.
