There were images of Apollo,the city’s patron, of Jupiter, Venus,
Mercury, Bacchus, Neptune, Diana, and Aesculapius. The
whole Greek pantheon was there, all the gods of Olympus.
And they were beautiful. But many were also what most Christians—and social conservatives—would define as pornographic today. The herms which adorned the city wall, for example, were roughly fashioned with phallic attributes, and stood as protecting talismans at every entrance in the city. --Dennis Haack
