The ancient Greeks are famously known for fetishizing the male body in sculptures that represent powerful, illustrious men as huge figures with taut, rippling muscles. These figures sometimes appeared partially clothed in drapery fabric but some were often stark naked.
To the average person, their bodies are ideal expect for one seminal detail, they had small to very small manhood as compared to the average of humanity and they are usually flaccid.
Many contemporary art lovers and historian’s have been struck by the modest nature of the phalluses that features in classical sculptures of god’s, emperor’s, and other great men – from the Almighty Zeus to celebrated athletes.
The small manhood seem at odds with the massive bodies and the mythically large personalities they followed. But the ancient Greeks had their reasons for this aesthetic choice. Around 400 BC in Greece, large and erected manhoods were not considered desirable, nor were they a sign of power or strength.
The small manhood was consonant with Greek ideals of male beauty and a badge of the highest culture and a paragon of civilization. Lascivious and depraved satyrs in particular were rendered with large, erected manhoods, which were sometimes as tall as their torsos.
According to mythology, these creatures were half-man, half-animal and totally lacked restraint, a quality which the Greek high society looked down upon.
Big manhoods were vulgar and outside cultural norms and was something which the barbarians of the world sported. In Greek comedy, fools were also sported with large manhoods which was a sign of “stupidity more of a beast than a man” and so did artistic representations of the Egyptians,who were long-time enemies of the Greeks.
Today, being well-endowed is often equated with power and even sound leadership. There is no doubt that across ancient Greek art, the representation of the phallus and it’s varying size was symbolic.
