Aphrodite - The Goddess of Love & Beauty #Aphrodite
from Sharon George
Regular Price: $25.00
 $22.50
Aphrodite Goddess and Fantasy Art Prints, Digital Painting by award winning Digital Painter Sharon Geroge.
Aphrodite is her Greek name; Venus is how the Roman's knew her. She is the daughter of Uranus and the Ocean Foam is her mother. She is also known as "foam born" and "she who rises from the waves". When she shakes the seawater from her hair, the drops turn to pearls at her feet.
Lovely, indeed is Aphrodite, great goddess of love and lust. She married the crippled smithy Hephaestus, but found him boring and entertained many lovers, with whom she had many children.
The Romans considered her the goddess of charm and beauty and believed that a large stone resting near a tall tree was a place wherein she could be called for help in affairs of the heart. They offered her wild strawberries, herbs, pine cones, and cypress branches.
She is also thought to be a descendant of a prehistoric water bird goddess, and a goddess of spiritual as well as passionate love. The white dove symbolizes platonic love and the honeysuckle vines are symbolic of happy marriages.
