| Summary | "Erotopægnion, sive Priapeia Veterum et Recentiorum" by François Noel is a collection of erotic poetry and literature written in the late 18th century. The work centers around the Roman god Priapus, who represents fertility, gardens, and male sexuality, and features a series of poems that explore themes of desire, lamentation, and the playful nature of love and lust. The collection includes contributions from various ancient and recent poets and reflects on the passions and follies associated with the pleasures of the flesh. At the start of the text, the reader is introduced to the character of Priapus, depicted as a rustic god with a notable physical form. The opening portion provides a brief mythological background about his origins, including tales of his conception and subsequent struggles for acceptance. Subsequent sections promise a series of poems that offer dialogues with Priapus, whimsical commentaries on the challenges of love and lust, and humorous takes on the conduct of both men and women regarding romantic escapades, setting the tone for a work that embraces both the sacred and profane aspects of sexuality.
