According to the Christian writer Clement of Alexandria, Dionysus was guided in his journey by Prosymnus or Polymnus, who requested, as his reward, to be Dionysus' lover. Prosymnus died before Dionysus could honor his pledge, so to satisfy Prosymnus' shade, Dionysus fashioned a phallus from a fig branch and penetrated himself with it at Prosymnus' tomb. This story survives in full only in Christian sources, whose aim was to discredit pagan mythology, but it appears to have also served to explain the origin of secret objects used by the Dionysian Mysteries.

Hmm. I wonder why I never learned about that one in school when we did Greek mythology.
Ritualistic masturbation on top of a grave. The Greeks never disappoint, I swear!
It's unclear, did he use the dildo to fuck himself or Prosymus?
I guess he only needed tool assistance for one of those options.
