Priapus Greek An ancient god of fertility, protector of herds, bees, fish, and the vine. Priapus was a latecomer to Greek mythology. In most accounts, Priapus was the son of Dionysus and Aphrodite. In others, his mother was Chione and his father Dionysus, Adonis, Hermes, or Pan. Though his parentage may be in doubt, it is certain that Priapus was associated with the ancient Greek worship of Dionysus, the wine god. Many scholars think that Priapus was another name for Pan, an ancient pastoral deity.
