Venus de Milo Aphrodite Melos Sculpture Statu Louvre Museum
Available in 2 sizes
Item No. 5068
Reproduced after an ancient original in the Louvre Museum, Paris.
Her graceful body symbolizes an ideal of beauty that many long for but none attain. The French named her
the Venus of Milo. In 1820 a peasant named Yorgos found her broken body in an underground cavern on
the Aegean island of Melos. Later she was taken out of Greece under unclear circumstances to be taken to
Paris where she was to be admired by the millions of visitors to that country's great museum-the Louvre!
Aphrodite was the 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.
