Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I think the established scholarship on this is that large penises were out of fashion; the Greeks thought of them as being too bestial!. Remember that "barbarian" cultures were still making statues with giant phalli to represent virility; the Greeks saw themselves as being more modern and refined!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It would stick out to much maybe lolWww@QuestionHome@Com |
