Aphrodite is the Greek
goddess of love shown here drawing back her long locks to reveal the
graceful lines of her neck. Beside her is a classic Greek pillar and
a small vessel brimming with water to the point of overflowing.
Aphrodite is known to incite feelings of love and lust wherever she
goes. She is a contender in the story of the Golden Apples, when
Paris chooses her as the fairest of the three goddesses (Hera and
Athena were the others) and Aphrodite decides to reward him by
giving him the love of Helen of Troy. This turns out to be something
of a mixed blessing as it eventually led to the Trojan War. This is
a cold-cast resin statue measuring 11 1/4" tall with a white satin
finish. |
