I had a conversation with a mate a few days ago which eventually led to this question and it has been haunting me since. Did every notable male in history have a microdick?

Power. Notice the testicles are always enlarged. Sex was about spreading the seed of the heir. Only heathens have large penises, and hence were considered lesser beings.
It was an intentional choice. The Greeks and Romans idealises sexual restraint and believed horny men were little more than animals.
They also believed that your body refected your true nature. So they believed symbolically a good man had a small cock.
To quote aristophanes on the ideal man “This is the right way for you, my lad, and if you do what I say you’ll be eternally blessed with a strapping body, a gleaming complexion, huge shoulders, a tiny little tongue, big buttocks, and a small cock. Should you choose to follow the fashion currently in vogue amongst the young men of this city, then it’ll be pasty skin, round shoulders, concave chest, an enormous tongue, no arse, a great hunk of meat, and a very long . . . turn of phrase!”

In greek society it was unsightly to have a large penis, a product of their social norms. Obviously not all men had small penises so most greek statues are carved with a very flaccid penis to simulate the ideal of the time.

I just heard small penises were more desirable in those days. Not sure if it’s true though, may someone clarify?
The art reflects the social imagine that men with small penises were more intelligent. Stop if you ever see a statue of a man with a large penis it was the artist showing the guy was an idiot.
This came up in a human sexuality class I was taking once. The professor responded something along the lines of the ancient Greeks thought big genitals were gross/distasteful. Girl who had established that she was married, raised her hand and said that the statue seemed big to her. Her husband walked her to class everyday and I couldn’t make eye contact with the guy.
Wait.. those are small?
