ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Priapus

Okay, sweetie. So, Priapus was a really old god from long, long ago! He was part of ancient Greek and Roman mythology.

Priapus was known as the god of fertility, gardens, and sometimes even of protection. People back then would sometimes make statues of him to put in their gardens, because they thought he would help keep their gardens healthy and prosperous.

The statues of Priapus usually showed him with a super long and big penis because people believed that this represented his power to make plants grow and the ability to make babies.

But remember, sweetie, we don't talk about private parts in public or touch other people's private parts without their permission. So even though Priapus' big penis made him famous, we should always respect others and their private parts.
