Naked Nude Venus Aphrodite Greek Roman Statue Sculpture
Item No. 5040
Aphrodite was the symbol of female beauty and Goddess of Love, identified in Rome with Venus. Although
Homer describes Aphrodite as the daughter of Zeus and Dion, the more popular view was that she was
conceived in the foam of the ocean from the seed of Uranus. Dropped there when he was castrated, her
name meaning "foam-born". Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus, but she loved Ares and she was
known for her many love affairs, notably with Adonis and Anchises. Aphrodite the most beautiful woman in
the world, inspired lust in all the humans and other creatures of the planet. No one could escape the traps
that she set to amuse herself with the doings of love-crazed men and women. The passion which she
planted in the human soul was the force that propelled fertilization and reproduction. Her symbols were the
laurel, the pomegranate, the dove, the swan, the hare and the ram, all of them connected with physical love
and reproduction.
Made of cast stone and hand stained with antique finish.
