Donald trumps understanding of christianity in art.

An erotic statue has caused the British Museum to install a "parental guidance" warning in their new exhibition, Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum.

The sculpture is of the mythical half-goat, half-man Pan having sex with a nanny goat. The Times reports that the museum is determined to display the object in plain sight, rather than hidden behind a curtain or in a "museum secretum" – a restricted area for those aged over 14 in the Naples Museum.

Paul Roberts, senior curator, said the statue may be unconventional today, but would not have raised eyebrows in Roman Pompeii: "The Romans would see the god goat having sex with a goat, so it wouldn't have troubled them at all.

Roberts says high-brow Roman owners would have been amused by the statue: "It’s because the owners are cultured that they have the sculpture of Pan and the goat. They also have a sense of humour, because to a Roman that would have been humorous, not offensive."

He added that phallic symbols were commonplace in Roman homes. Images of the well-endowed fertility god Priapus, sometimes weighing his appendage against a quantity of gold, were often found at the entrance to houses as a symbol of success and good luck.

"The Romans would see the god goat having sex with a goat, so it wouldn't have troubled them at all"

Of course not its flipping the bird at the greeks!!! Hell hilareous even to half wit rich moron inbred idiots.

pan unless thats been changed it was identified as pan. So make up their minds already damn it! Which story is faunus or pan having sex with sheep? Wait montana joke coming on here. Apparently beastiality was considered a religious thing back then. And we all know romans were so sophisticated and civil.

Yep, they use the name Pan because it's widely recognised.

With the increasing Hellenization of literate upper-class Roman culture in the 3rd and 2nd–centuries BC, the Romans tried to equate their own deities with Greek ones, applying in reverse the Greeks' own interpretatio graeca. Faunus was naturally equated with the god Pan, who was a pastoral god of shepherds who was said to reside in Arcadia. Pan had always been depicted with horns and as such many depictions of Faunus also began to display this trait. However, the two deities were also considered separate by many, for instance, the epic poet Virgil, in his Aeneid, made mention of both Faunus and Pan independently.

Well beastiality was a common sexual practice we all know that back then? Right. So much evidence. Sorry no data to support the assumption. It remains wierd till actual data not science and wierd today was wierd back then as far as about all texts indicate. Just based on available data is all. Stick to the data science. Or its what ever we want it to be. Like christianity and its text.

It was entertainment: "Beasts were specially trained to copulate with women: if the girls or women were unwilling then the animal would attempt rape. A surprising range of creatures was used for such purposes - bulls, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, wild boar, zebras, stallions, jackasses, huge dogs, apes, etc. The beasts were taught how to copulate with a human being [whether male or female'] either via the vagina or via the anus." Representations of scenes from the sexual lives of the gods, such as Pasipha"

Sothe statute of a highly regarded male god having sex with a goat,

represents forced female slaves to
have sex with animals for entertainment value?

Thats a strange represention then. I would have never guessed that at all. Trust me on that. Having a bit of a problem there understanding it, like the trinity. My theology brain is trying to figure it out.
After a curse from Poseidon, "Pasiphae experienced lust for and mated with a white bull sent by Poseidon."

Oh so now we are into a minoean muthology in regards to a greek roman god?

So that would be like like they would eat someone as representstion of ths last supper! And they would have pan eating a person right, as a representation carving?

Now it makes sense they were idiots to srupid to understand metaphor rocks for brains ok i agree i see that here all the time

Ah, so maybe there really was an actual person named "Biggus Dickus" back in the days of Ancient Rome.

Gotcha!!!!!!
What bronze age esoteric text is constantly referenced here on religious forums like they really understand it? I have a degree in theology. The study of an ancient bronze age esoteric text.

Thank you thank you thank you. I know something you dont know. Thats How story is created and why it can appear logical until deeper scrutiny. Hell today we call it science at the deepest levels. .
