In
ancient Roman religion,
Inuus was a god, or aspect of a god, who embodied
copulation. The evidence for him as a distinct entity is scant.
Servius says that Inuus is an
epithet of
Faunus (Greek
Pan), named from his habit of intercourse with animals, based on the
etymology of
ineundum, "a going in, penetration," from , "to enter" in the sexual sense. Other names for the god were
Fatuus and
Fatulcus.
