The Ancient Greece had a "Cult of Butts"

[Abenis]

Let me tell you a story about the worship of a deity in Antiquity: Aphrodite Kallipygos or Aphrodite "of the beautiful buttocks" and a temple in Syracuse dedicated to beautiful butts.

Ancient Greece knew the beauty pageants, it is known that the Callipyge festivals were celebrated in honor of Aphrodite, the celebration consisted of a beauty pageant in which women exposed their buttocks to be judged, hence the term Callipyge, the one with beautiful buttocks.

The origin of the cult of this aspect of Aphrodite would be the following:

Athenaios (Deipnosophists, 12.554c-e) say in that the two daughters of a relatively prosperous farmer in Siracusa (Italy), beautiful, cheerful and of sharp wit, bet one Sicilian summer evening on the beauty of their buttocks to see which of them was worthy of the first prize. For this they agreed to show it to a passerby and have him decide who was the winner.

The girls lived on the outskirts of the city, so they had to wait a long time to find the appropriate judge. At last a young man with broad shoulders and a neat tunic appeared on the slope of the road. At the precise moment when he reached where they were and saw them, Helena lifted her tunic and, smiling, looked down at her buttocks.

So when Aspasia told him about the bet and in turn showed him her own buttocks, he could no longer think of anything but Helena’s ass. Of course you voted for it. In fact, he fell in love with her, so much so that when he returned to the city he told his younger brother what had happened. The younger brother went to the outskirts of town as soon as he could to see the girls. It turns out that he fell in love with the younger sister, even long before he was lucky enough to see her bare buttocks.

The boys plead with their father to allow them to marry the girls, and the father could not deny them when he saw the girls. They married, and the girls became famous for their assets, and were called The Fair-Buttocks. Since they had become rich and famous, they founded a temple to Aphrodite in thanks, and it was dedicated to he aspect of the goddess relating to beautiful butts, and the temple was then manned only by women with beautiful rear-ends.

There is a similar cult existing today where people kiss the butts of powerful people in order to make a progress.

There used to be a system of advertising the specialities of working girls by describing them from countries, Err or so I'm told.

L'amour Anglaise was Corporal punishment

Greek Love was sodomy.

French Love was Oral.

American Love was of course a mirror.

The interesting thing about Aphrodite is that she was born from the sea foam that emerged from the penis/testicles of Uranus cut by Cronos' sickle, that is, she is in a certain way a titaness, the titans are predecessors of the Olympian gods.
