Description

Well I saved the best for last. Aphrodite ( Venus ) The Goddess of Love and Beauty, who beguiled all, Gods and men alike: The laughter loving Goddess, who laughed sweetly or mockingly at those her wiles had conquered. She is the daughter of Zeus and Dione in the Illiad, but in later poems she is said to have sprung from the foam of the sea, and her name was explained as meaning “ the foam-risen“. This sea birth took place near Cythera, from where she was wafted to Cyprus. Both islands were ever after sacred to her., and she was called Cytherea or the Cyprian as often as by her proper name. One of the Homeric Hymns, calling her “ Beautiful, Golden Goddess,” says of her----- The breath of the west wind bore her Over the sounding sea, Up from the delicate foam‘ to wave-ringed Cyprus, her isle. And the hours golden-wreathed Welcomed her joyously. They clad her in raiment immortal, And brought her to the Gods. Wonder seized them all as they saw Violet-crowned Cytherea. . History By: Edith Hamilton I hope you have all enjoyed the series. I hope to do another one later on about the “Lesser Gods of Earth”. Thank you for your comments and favs.
