The Corinthian Helm as a phallic symbol?
#18
Well Matt, you are not the only one to notice this! Perhaps we Canadians are a little weird? :lol: :lol:

I have often erased drawings I made of corinthians from memory, thinking, "damn. I must have some sort of phallic obsession" :? lol:

It is the only one that this feature is so distinct in, and it must not have escaped the people who made them! Just look at some of the ancient art on vases to see how little sexual references bothered them! Today we are total prudes who think we are going to save our selves from something if we ignor the reality of things........ok, maybe I am being to political here, but I agree with you, anyway!
