 GENDER AND THE PHALLUS IN DIONYSIAN RELIGION
The lack of ithyphallic imagery of Dionysos would seem to be a moot point with regard to his sexuality.
The common art motif of Dionysos surrounded by thyrsoi, snakes and ithyphallic satyrs seems to point to the god as the still center of sexual energy in the scene, as if he were exuding an invisible radiation which enlivened everything in his presence.
This radiating force-field effect may be the result of a taboo that mandates that phallicism be removed at a distance from the god; it fits with the paradoxical and concealed nature of the god, and it also succeeds in implying a dynamic injection of his sexual power into the surrounding figures and landscape.

 Ithyphallic Imagery and Sex in Ancient Athens   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The tiny island of Delos, birthplace of Artemis and Apollo, was an ancient sanctuary and spiritual center that came under Athenian domination.
From this point of view, Attica's ithyphallic images can be seen as a mindless male expression not of dominance but of unsated horniness — unsated despite a riot of orgasms, because no truly satisfying relationship was possible.
A great many of the ithyphallic images that have survived involve satyrs of Dionysos [Figure 7: "Fifth century bronze satyr statuette"], who are depicted as conspicuously unsuccessful in their wooing of the maenads most of the time.

 Tropaion: The Herm I
The use of those eikonostasia – excluding the case of an accident which then are been used as ‘avert of evil’ for further prevention of accidents – are also used as the ancient herms, signals and border limits.
Another way, for the ancient Greeks, to underline borders and geographical significance was the use of the ithyphallic shape and later the stoned column.
Peisistratos was the first who created a series of ithyphallic columns (520 b.c.).

 Nehebkau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alternatively, as a snake, since he was connected to an aspect of the soul, he was sometimes seen as the son of Renenutet, a snake-goddess, who distributed the Ren, another aspect of the soul, and of the earth (Geb), on which snakes crawl.
Ka is also the Egyptian word for phallus, and so as the somewhat difficult to interpret (one who) harnesses together phalluses, he was often depicted in an Ithyphallic manner (still as a snake).

 Nile - Biography - AOL Music
Combining the extreme speed and nihilism of modern death metal with the ancient styling of Middle Eastern music, Nile formed in their hometown of Greensberg, SC, in 1993.
With their self-proclaimed trademark of "Ithyphallic Metal," Karl Sanders (guitar/vocals), Chief Spires (bass/vocals), and Pete Hammoura (drums) debuted with their Festivals of Atonement album in 1995, leading Nile to a southwestern tour in support of other big metal acts such as Obituary, Deicide and Broken Hope.
Viscera Productions was responsible for Nile's follow-up EP Ramses Bringer of War in 1997 and was going to release their second album Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka -- that is, if they hadn't gone out of business later that year.

 The Forms of Shiva in Visual Arts
This horned-headed Pashupati/yogi is ithyphallic, that is, has a 'urdhvalinga' - upward erect phallus, which is one of his two more prominent aspects, the other one being the horned head.
In all probabilities, these 'linga' icons - easier to cast than an anthropomorphic image, were conceived to represent the 'urdhvalinga' of the ithyphallic deity independently and thereby the ithyphallic deity himself, and not one of his aspects.
Similarly, the humped bull, whose icons were in great prevalence and perhaps in popular worship, might have represented the ithyphallic deity's animal aspect which defined his composite form.

It was called "Ipet resyt," which means the Southern Opet or the Place of the Seclusion of Amun-Re.
It was directly connected to the temple of Karnak, the main cult center of Amun-Re or Amun-Min, the sky god or the ithyphallic fertility god.
The temple had another group of divinities that included Iunet, Hathor, and Atum, whose statues were discovered in a hidden storage pit.

 A SCENE FROM THE OPET TEMPLE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
This unique scene, from the Late Period, in the Opet Temple at Karnak illustrates the union of the sun god Amen-Re, as an ithyphallic Ba bird, with Osiris as a young man lying upon a lion couch.
Though this drawing of the relief does not indicate it, the photographs show the probability that the youthful Osiris is ithyphallic as well.
Some of the implications of this portrayal of the mysterious union of the sun god Amen-Re and Osiris are interesting to contemplate.

 Herodotus 2.50-53   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
It was not so with the ithyphallic images of Hermes; the production of these came from the Pelasgians, from whom the Athenians were the first Greeks to take it, and then handed it on to others.
For the Athenians were then already counted as Greeks when the Pelasgians came to live in the land with them and thereby began to be considered as Greeks.
Whoever has been initiated into the rites of the Cabeiri, which the Samothracians learned from the Pelasgians and now practice, understands what my meaning is. Samothrace was formerly inhabited by those Pelasgians who came to live among the Athenians, and it is from them that the Samothracians take their rites.

The form of a dove in the Joseph Smith hypocephalus is at variance to other similar papyri which feature an ithyphallic serpent-god with legs standing before the throne of God.
This section of the original papyrus is thought by many to have been damaged as only the head of the inked image survived through the centuries.
God so ordered the form of a dove to be represented on the papyri and the interpretation thereof through the revelation and instrumentality of the prophet Joseph Smith.

 hermes
The etymology of the name is uncertain, but in Greek a herm was a stone pillar, unmarked except for the suggestion of a head and a clearly erect phallus.
(In Classical times the head was clearly carved, and in Hellenistic times the phallus was sometimes lacking.) The ithyphallic stone figure might suggest a simple, chthonic fertility spirit, but there is more to the herm.
They were used to mark borders (In Classical Athens it was the norm for each house to have a herm out front, marking the boundary between the public and the private.) Interestingly, male apes mark territorial borders by standing upright and displaying an erect penis.
