Clement of Alexandria, Protreptikos pros Ellenas 2
I pass over in silence just now Dionysos Choiropsales. The Sicyonians reverence this deity, whom they have constituted the god of the muliebria — the patron of filthiness — and religiously honour as the author of licentiousness.
Indeed, Brother Clement! Look what He’s doing to the neck of that leopard! ;)
Well, He can muliebria all over me whenever he wants…

I had to look up what muliebria meant. It’s in reference to female genitalia, perhaps in reference to Dionysos being effeminate. Which of course is distasteful to Clement because he’s a stick in the mud.
