Which god was the god of fertility and agriculture, often shown with an erect penis? Min.
Min was an ancient Egyptian god of fertility, agricultural abundance, and male sexual potency. Egyptian artists commonly portrayed him as a wrapped, dark-skinned man with an erect penis, his left hand holding it while his raised right hand held a flail. The image expressed generative power rather than serving merely as a literal portrait of sexuality.
Min’s cult began in the predynastic period, during the fourth millennium BCE. His principal worship centers were Coptos, or Qift, and Akhmim. He was associated with the fertility of fields, the strength of men, and the success of childbirth. His symbols included lettuce, a bull, the phallus, and fossilized belemnites, which may have served as early sacred objects.
During the New Kingdom, Min appeared in royal coronation and harvest ceremonies. In the Festival of Min, his image was carried into the fields, where offerings of first fruits sought a plentiful harvest. Lettuce was especially significant because Egyptians associated its tall form and milky sap with sexual potency. Min could be combined with Amun as Min-Amun and was sometimes compared by Greeks with Pan or Priapus.
