THIS HERM LINKS VENUS WITH EROS AND IMPLICITLY WITH HERMES
"Bifrons or Bifront representing Aphrodite - Eros " El Prado Museum, Madrid, Spain
Such representations underscore contrasts such as past-present or male-female, among others. Hermes wit Aphrodite gave rise to herm-aphrodite. Ancient sources also underscore that Hermas was sexually ambivalent. Other herms represented Hermes or Mercury with priapism (prominent erections currently represented by obelisks).
