Canciller alemán afirma que la derrota electoral de Sajonia-Anhalt tendrá consecuencias

El canciller alemán Friedrich Merz afirmó que está "profundamente conmocionado" por la contundente derrota que infligió el partido de ultraderecha Alternativa por Alemania (AfD) a su partido de centro-derecha, la Unión Cristianodemócrata (CDU), en las elecciones regionales celebradas este domingo en el estado federado de Sajonia-Anhalt. /es

[Archaeo - Histories @archeohistories]

A 1st Century AD, Roman fresco from the vestibule of the House of the Vettii in Pompeii depicts the rustic fertility god Priapus weighing his oversized phallus against a bag of coins on a pair of scales...

In Greek mythology, Priapus was a minor rustic fertility god, protector of livestock, fruit plants, gardens and male genitalia. Priapos was depicted as a dwarfish man with a huge member, symbolising garden fertility, a peaked Phrygian cap, indicating his origin as a Mysian god, and a basket weighed down with fruit. Priapus was the god of vegetable gardens, and also a protector of beehives, flocks and vineyards. He was best noted for his huge, permanently erect penis, which gave rise to medical term 'Priapism'.

Priapus was described in varying sources as son of Aphrodite by Dionysus; as son of Dionysus and Chione; as perhaps father or son of Hermes; or as son of Zeus or  Pan. According to legend, Hera  cursed him with inconvenient impotence (he could not sustain an erection when time came for sexual intercourse), ugliness and foul-mindedness while he was still in Aphrodite's womb, in revenge for hero Paris having temerity to judge Aphrodite more beautiful than Hera. Other gods refused to allow him to live on Mount Olympus and threw him down to Earth, leaving him on a hillside. He was eventually found by shepherds and was brought up by them.

Priapus joined Pan and satyrs as a spirit of fertility and growth, though he was perennially frustrated by his impotence. In a ribald anecdote told by Ovid, he attempted to rape goddess  Hestia but was thwarted by an ass, whose braying caused him to lose his erection at critical moment and woke Hestia. The episode gave him a lasting hatred of asses and a willingness to see them killed in his honour. Emblem of his lustful nature was his permanent erection and his large penis. Another myth states that he pursued nymph Lotis until gods took pity on her and turned her into a lotus plant.

According to some scholars, Priapus, was unknown to the most ancient poets, or not mentioned by them, was declared at god only in later (Roman) times. He was particularly honoured in the city of Priapus in the Troad, and it is said that his worship was probably transferred there from Orneae, a city west of Mycenae. Other phallic deities such as Attic Orthanes, Conisalus, and Tychon, resemble Priapus. His cult was introduced to Greece from Lampsakos (Lampsacus) in Asia Minor and his mythology subsequently reinterpreted. Primitive statues of the god were set-up in vegetable gardens to promote fertility. These also doubled as scarecrows, keeping the birds away.

Some researchers believe that size of male sexual organ has little or no relevance, but this lustful god has been assumed to think that greatest advantage with his enormous penis is that no female can be too roomy for him. When a certain ass once had a contest with Priapus on the matter of the size of their sexual organs, beast was defeated by god and killed by him. Others say that ass was killed for a different reason; they tell that after a party in countryside, Priapus tried to ravish nymph Lotis and that when everybody was asleep after feasting and drinking, Priapus approached her silently. But when he was close to fulfil his wish, saddle-ass of Silenus gave out an ill-timed roar, which made nymph to start up. Lotis pushed off Priapus and fled, but only way to escape him was to turn into flower called lotus. For having caused him to lose this girl, Priapus killed Silenus' ass, and that is why in Lampsacus, a city on Hellespont in northwestern Asia Minor where he was more revered than any other god, they used to sacrifice this animal to god.
