Priapea
Adoration of Priapus from a modern perspective ( Agostino Carracci ).
The Priapea , also called Carmina Priapea , Priapeia , Carmina Priapeia or Corpus Priapeorum , is a collection of 80 (in some editions also 95) poems with erotic content compiled by an anonymous ancient author. The poems take their name from the garden god Priapus, who is characterized by an oversized phallus . Well-known ancient poets such as Virgil , Horace , Ovid or Martial also sang about Priapus in poems. The Priapea were also received in humanism .
