Abstract
- The article focuses on the Priapea and how its compilation of poems depicts some of the qualities of Priapus. Accordingly, some of Priapus' qualities are self-consciousness concerning ligneous origin, red phallus, raised arm and protection of gardens against thieves. It is claimed that Priapus depicts the personality of Horace, its creator, and relays the latter's own memory of new gardens. In addition to his experiences in new gardens, it is also pondered that Horace is speaking of his tenure on the Esquiline.
