Product Information

Some early comparative mythologists opposed to the idea of a Near Eastern origin argued that Aphrodite originated as an aspect of the Greek dawn goddess Eos [44] [45] and that she was therefore ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European dawn goddess * H aéusōs (properly Greek Eos, Latin Aurora, Sanskrit Ushas).

She is a major deity in modern Neopagan religions, including the Church of Aphrodite, Wicca, and Hellenismos. The foam from his genitals gave rise to Aphrodite [5] (hence her name, which Hesiod interprets as "foam-arisen"), [5] while the Giants, the Erinyes (furies), and the Meliae emerged from the drops of his blood. The Spartans worshipped her as Potnia "Mistress", Enoplios "Armed", Morpho "Shapely", Ambologera "She who Postpones Old Age". The story of Aeneas's conception is also mentioned in Hesiod's Theogony and in Book II of Homer's Iliad.

Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena all claimed to be the fairest, and thus the rightful owner of the apple. Stories revolving around sculptures of Aphrodite were common in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

In the Iliad, Aphrodite is the apparently unmarried consort of Ares, the god of war, [105] and the wife of Hephaestus is a different goddess named Charis. He also mentions that Aphrodite's most ancient cult statues in Sparta and on Cythera showed her bearing arms. In the extant ancient depictions of the Judgement of Paris, Aphrodite is only occasionally represented nude, and Athena and Hera are always fully clothed. According to Hesiod, Theogony 927–929, Hephaestus was produced by Hera alone, with no father, see Gantz, p.The statue was purchased by the people of Knidos in around 350 BC [268] and proved to be tremendously influential on later depictions of Aphrodite.
