| NOTES | Vase paintings and statues frequently portray nude athletes wearing the kynodesme (literally a "dog leash"), a thin leather thong wound around the prepuce, that pulled the penis upward and was tied in a bow. The kynodesme could then either be attached to a waist band to expose the scrotum, or to the base of the penis so that the penis appeared to curl upwards. Not all Greek athletes wore the kynodesme. |
