"It was compiled from literary works and inscriptions on images of the god by an unknown editor, who composed the introductory epigram."

However there is a growing consensus, particularly over the past decade, to view the Carmina Priapea (CP, henceforth) as the work of an editor (or even a group of editors/authors), it should be mentioned in the article that the CP were formerly ascribed to a single author, cf. Buchheit, 1962 (of which The Camebridge history of classical literature writes in its article about the CP "That these epigrams belong to one poet has been established beyond reasonable doubt by V. Buchheit"). - Frank Keizer

I have added a translation of the poems by Richard W. Hooper from 1999. S. Callow

Misinformation

Gpscholar - the Priapeia were written in Latin, not Greek. I'm fixing your errors. Please do be careful when giving wrong information, and try to read a book sometime learning the difference between Latin and Greek. Chris Weimer 00:33, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
