Abstract

Men’ s hypersexuality was called in ancient Greece “ satyriasis” (Greek: Σ α τ υ ρ ί α σ η ). Satyrs, were depicted in ancient Greek mythology as half men and half goats, given to lecherous revelry in their dedication towards the exaggerated appetites, being lower class deities who accompanied Dionysus. Aretaeus of Cappadocia, gave a masterful description of the disease, supporting the Hippocratic doctrine of the four humours, and considering the excess of the blood inside the big arteries of the kidneys as the main pathological cause of the penile erection. He had proposed various remedies, and considered that satyriasis was an acute fatal disease that could kill the sufferer within seven days.
