    Maybe, but again - were the Ancient Greeks really influenced by that? Probably more from observing the behaviour (and anatomy) of horses and certain livestock. I do think you’re getting the cart before the massive horse cock.

      I don’t think you’re right, but I love your headcannon of Michelangelo and other Renaissance artists making the dicks small to emulate the ancient Greeks’ zealously pointing out that their sculpture was not of horses, goats or sheep 😄

        I mean that’s likely where the idea of massive throbbing boners being bestial and whatnot came from. The horse’s handbrake. You ever seen one of those? And they really are violent rapists, hence the myth of the centaurs.

      No, they weren’t. The “barbarians” they despised were all of their neighbors. That is what barbarian originally meant, not Greek. When they felt like being really spicy it’d mean people from a different city state.
