Today this I might
Feel like that queen
Sea-born
Night-loving
Most desired.
Apparent and unseen
I might right now
Feel gold crowned
Illustrious
Laughter-loving
Most desired.
By even those…
Reverent mind
Persuading
The most inclined
And also the least,say, sharp.
So I’d be
Aphrodite
Encircling it all
Joined to harmony
For life
Stirring up passion
Sweetening even
Those random
Often frequent
Adulteries.

Image 'Birth Of Aphrodite' by Tony Crosse
APHRODITE was the great Olympian goddess of beauty, love, pleasure and procreation. She was depicted as a beautiful woman usually accompanied by the winged godling Eros (Love). Her attributes included a dove, apple, scallop shell and mirror. In classical sculpture and fresco she was often depicted nude.
Some of the more famous myths featuring the goddess include:
- Her birth from the sea foam...
- Her adulterous affair with the god Ares...
- Her love for Adonis, a handsome Cypriot youth who was tragically killed by a boar...
- Her love for Ankhises, a shepherd-prince...
