    In which Greek play were the Athenians punished with priapism?

    Question #100657. Asked by tragic_flawed. (Oct 30 08 5:40 PM)

    		Lysistrata, by Aristophanes.


    "Innuendo, occasionally subtle and usually not, oozed through both the scenery and dialogue. From the middle of the play onward, the men of Athens and Sparta were stricken with an epidemic of priapism, while their wives and lovers remained willfully barricaded within the city walls."
