✨Pan riding an ithyphallic mule✨

The Greek god Pan was connected with flocks and shepherds so it perhaps only fitting that he is depicted here upon a mule, who is faithfully rendered complete with phallus.

This piece is thought to a Roman relief modelled upon an earlier Hellenistic era relief and it is now held in the MAN Napoli, inv. 27712.

""Priapos was conceived from Zeus and Aphrodite; but Hera in a jealous rage laid hands by a certain trickery on the belly of Aphrodite and readied a shapeless and ugly and over-meaty babe to be born."
Suidas s.v. Priapos

You have heard of Princess Leia in the golden bikini. Now get ready for #VENUS in a golden bikini! Homegirl is putting on her golden sandals, aided by her son #Eros. She is using a statue of #Priapus with a gilded erection to lean on.
