“The term phallus is reputedly of Phoenician origin.”
“1833, Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva, Phœnician Ireland.”
“"What diverts me the most," continued Sir George, " is, Ulysses being always called 'the much enduring man.' After all his ten years of wandering are past, pleasantly enough, the greater portion of them being spent with Circe and Calypso—to be sure, it was rather tiresome staying so long with the last—how he must have enjoyed his flirtation with the Phœnician princess!"”
