(2) Symbolism

Originally one of the goddesses of the harvest. Myrtle is her sacred tree, and her sacrifices are sparrows, doves, and rabbits. After the formation of Olympianism, she was regarded as the goddess of love, ** and beauty. The first places to worship her were Cyprus, Kutera, Asia Minor. Later the cult of her was introduced to Greece.

Her sacrifice was a dolphin. Perhaps because of the legend that she was born in the sea and is related to the god of the sea, she is sometimes worshipped as the patron goddess of navigation. Legend has it that in the waves of the Mediterranean, there are often sirens. They rejoiced in capsizing boats and fed on captives. Aphrodite hated such an unreasonable act. They are always punished severely. So, from ancient times to the present day. Some people always see her as a deity who guarantees the safety of navigation. Her tablet was always offered on ancient Cyprus and Greek ships, and today her statue is always on small fishing boats along the Mediterranean coast. Another legend says that she was born at sea and is particularly fond of swimming in the water. The place where she often swims is Polislin Beach. Polislin Beach is located in the northwestern part of Cyprus at Anuti Point. It was a small bay between two headlands, calm and calm, white sand and clear water. In the distance, the towering Trudos Mountain, and the silver-gray olive trees in the distance, are quiet and tranquil. Because Aphrodite often came here to play in the waves, this beach is known as the 'Bath of Eros'. Not far from the bath, there is a clear spring. The water is luscious and clear, and Aphrodite often comes to sip after bathing. This spring is therefore known as the "Spring of Love". When a single man or woman drinks this spring, they will fall in love and be united forever. Married men and women who drink this spring water will have deep affection and grow old together. Therefore, visitors come here, all pick up a handful of clear springs, drink a few sips, in order to walk on the smooth road of love, all the best.

As the goddess of love, she had a magical treasure belt, and when the ancient Greek woman got married, she had to offer her the belt she had woven herself. Legend has it that her priestess used ** in exchange for money to serve her, which was related to the institution of marriage at the time. The goddess of love and beauty in Greek mythology, Venus and "Friday" in Latin are derived from her Roman name.

Aphrodite has the most perfect body and appearance in ancient Greece, symbolizing love and feminine beauty, and is considered the highest symbol of female physical beauty. Because of Aphrodite's beauty, all the gods pursued her. Zeus married her to Hephaestus, the ugly and lame god of fire and blacksmiths. But she loved Ares, the god of war, and gave birth to a young goddess of love, Aros (Roman name Cupid), and several other children.

Aphrodite is the goddess of "the most beautiful", and her life story is magical. In those days, the gods of Mount Olympus had begun to rejoice in the pursuit of cosmic power. The floating bubbles floating on the sea emit the golden light of ten thousand holy paths. With the undulation of the waves, a beautiful and lovely girl rises to the surface of the sea, radiating warmth and strength. She was brought to Cyprus by the god of the sea, and later Cyprus became her holy island. Her beauty is indescribable, so she is rightfully called "Beauty". There was a golden crown on her immortal skull, her eyes were deep and soft, and her eyebrows were warm and peaceful. Her long, waterfall hair was sprinkled on her graceful neck and fair breasts. In addition, her delicate fingers and rose-white feet add a charming nobility and elegance to her beauty. When she first appeared on Mount Olympus, her slender and well-proportioned figure not only won the fanatical worship of the gods, but also attracted the maddened jealousy of the goddesses.

She was chosen as the goddess of love and marriage. In order to arouse love in the hearts of all beings in the universe, and to enable man, beast and animal to reproduce, she roams around in chariots driven by sparrows, pigeons and swans. With the help of her youngest son, Eros (Cupid), the goddess of love, she stirred up many moving stories of joy and sorrow among the gods and the world. Due to a momentary negligence, she injected the concept of free love into her married life. She had always been unfaithful to her husband, Hephaestus. Once, while she was lying down with Mars, the god of war, her husband caught her with a net. He then mischievously placed both of them together in front of the gods. She is responsible. She is always ready to help couples in trouble. She loved Edunis and gave life to the stone statue of Gelati.

Because of Aphrodite's beauty, all the gods pursued her. Zeus also courted her but was rejected, so Zeus married her to Hephaestus, the ugly and lame god of fire and craftsmen. But she loves Ares, the god of war.

(4) Aphrodite's lovers

Among the twelve main gods of Olympus, Aphrodite is regarded as the wife of Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, and there are many legends about her affair. Homer's epic poem The Odysseus tells of her tryst with Ares, the god of war, only to be caught by her husband in an invisible net. Legend has it that she begat Ares with Anteros, Demos, Eros, Harmonia, and Phobs. Hermes, the messenger of the gods, also courted her, but was rejected. Zeus sent the Condor to steal one of Aphrodite's shoes and give it to Hermes; She had to go and ask for it, but she fell into a trap and had a son Hermes, Herma Phroditus; She also begat Elex with Poseidon, Priapos with Dionysus, and Anchises, the hero of Troy, and Aeneas, the ancestor of the Romans.

It was with this that Hera, the queen of heaven, won the favor of Zeus. This belt can rekindle the charm of bleak love and rekindle the fire of love in the hearts of lovers. (To be continued.) )
