Let me introduce Goddess Aphrodite, a prominent figure in Greek mythology. She is the goddess of love, beauty, and desire. Aphrodite is also identified as the roman goddess Venus.

Aphrodite’s birth is the subject of different myths, but the most famous one involves her being born from the sea foam. According to this myth, she was born when the Titan Cronus castrated his father Uranus and threw his parts into the sea. The sea foam, mixed with the blood from Uranus, gave rise to Aphrodite, who then floated on a shell to the shores of Cyprus. She was welcomed to the island by the Horae (the goddesses of the seasons), who adorned her with beautiful clothing and jewelry.

Her role as the protectress of sailors and her association with calm seas influenced seafaring cultures in the Mediterranean. Sailors would offer prayers to her for safe voyages and return home.

Aphrodite is the embodiment of physical beauty and attractiveness. She is often described as the most beautiful of all the goddesses in Greek mythology. As well known, she is the goddess of love in all its forms, including romantic love, desire, and sexual attraction. Doves and sparrows are sacred to Aphrodite and are often associated with her. Doves, in particular, symbolize love and peace.
