Temple honoring penis god pops up in Bulgaria

Bulgaria's National History Museum is boasting about an impressive new endowment. Archaeologists have unearthed an ancient temple dedicated to the Greek god Priapus, more or less the patron saint of penises, in the southern town of Sozopol on the Black Sea. The tip-off for the temple's possible locale: a clay phallus inscribed "To Priapus" discovered during a dig. Offerings made to the deity, whose most notable attribute was his whopping manhood (we're only showing you the picture above for historical purposes), were believed to help men coping with issues of fertility and erectile dysfunction — sort of a proto-Viagra. A temple dedicated to him is a pretty big find. Not that size matters. [Source]
