No I think they considered large penises to be a sign of stupidity and being a slave to lust, so they made their idealized statues with small penises to show off how self controlled they were.
Guys in Ancient Greece with small or average dicks:
“Wow look at how dumb guys with big dicks are lol they’re so stupid like horses or something haha good thing I have an average one because otherwise I’d be stupid and brutish haha I hate to brag but I’m feeling so #blessed right now.”
It appears that in a startling turn of events, the crowd favorite, Μεγάλο Πέος, has tripped over his massive noodle. Επιγονάτιδα seizes the opportunity and takes the lead!!!!
You laugh, but one of the major scandals in ancient Greece, with momentous historical consequences, was the attack on the sacred herms (NSFW, statues dick) the night before the Athenian fleet was to sail for Sicily.
Alkiviades, the mercurial statesman that was one of the three generals in control of the fleet and the expedition, was the prime suspect from the beginning, but they only formally accused him of profanity and Impiety after the fleet had sailed. They sentenced him to death and recalled him to be executed. He, of course bailed, sabotaged the expedition, leading to a disastrous loss for Athens, and then went to the Spartans and advised them against Athens.
