RE: Crazy Sex Facts From Ancient Times
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.
