Be a god - but there are drawbacks

 

Couldn't help reading this article in the Daily Mail.

Did the men in ancient Greece REALLY have small penises? TikTok star reveals the real reason statues of athletes and gods have such small members

Why, you ask, WHY?

"In sharing another video on the social media site, Ms. Reign [Tik Tok star] explained that in ancient Greece, having a 'smaller package was considered a sign of virtue, of civility, or self control or discipline.

'Meanwhile, having a bigger one was a sign of lustfulness, of gluttonous appetites and barbarism, which is quite interesting because it's different to today.'

 So, here's Zeus, in at least one artist's conception. 











The "thing" is, Zeus was pretty successful in the seduction (ok, it's actually called "rape") of lovely human women, resulting in several demigods and semi-deities and lesser goddesses, something that wife Hera was never happy about.  So the Zeus depicted with the minimally-sized organ, in mythic reality, wasn't virtuous at all, and so perhaps he should have been more appropriately equipped with a prodigious phallus.

However, it should be pointed out that Zeus didn't take on a human form when mythologically assaulting human women -- he could be a swan (Helen of Troy, Pollux), a bull (King Minos), or a shower of gold (Perseus).  (According to the story, he really wasn't a bull when he did the deed that begat Minos.)

So, getting back to basics, you can be a virtuous god or a non-virtuous GOD.  Take your pick and pick your dick.
