After taking the quiz on which Greek God or Goddess I am Aphrodite. Aphrodite is the most famous Goddess. She was the Goddess of beauty and love, but she was also a famous figure of Greek mythology. Since she was the one goddess that was wanted by nearly all of the Greek gods. Aphrodite was one of many gods on Mt. Olympus, but she was actually one of the most powerful goddess out of all of the others. When she was born she came out of the sea where she arose full-grown. There were many myths of facts about how she is the daughter of Zeus and Dionne. But they also had a feeling she could also be the daughter of Uranus and Gaia, which would make her a Titaness, or she is the daughter of Titans Oceanus and Tethys, which would make her an Oceanid.

The first nude statue of the Greek goddess which caused a sensation. This caused sensation because female nudity was rare in earlier Greek art and had been confined almost exclusively to paintings on vases designed for symposia and household use. Another example is Alexandros of Antioch-on-the-Meander, Aphrodite (Venus de, Milo), from Melos, Greece, ca. While displaying the eroticism of many Hellenistic statues, the Aphrodite is more overtly sexual. The goddess shows slipping garment teases the spectator. The famous Venus de Milo is larger than life size marble statue of Aphrodite found on Melos together with its inscribed base. In this specific statue, it is shown how the goddess of love is more modestly draped than the Aphrodite of Kindos but is more overtly sexual. Another painting was of Aphrodite and her lovers. In Greek mythology, Ares is her main love interest. She is with him in many stories, paintings, and visual representations. One of the most well-known is the reason the rooster crows at the sun. She had a minimum of 5 children with him, more or less depending on the time of the myths written and if it comes from Greek or Latin. Overall, this was her main love, and one she would have married if given the choice. They even fight side by side in the Trojan war. Aphrodite’s Other Lovers were, Hephaistos, god of smiths, Dionysos, god of wine, Hermes (Ἑρμης) – god of trade Zeus – King of the gods Adonis (Ἄδωνις) – some say this is her most prominent lover. He’s killed by a wild boar that either Ares or Artemis sent out of jealousy – love and hunting abilities respectively. She was also linked to a few other lovers throughout the Greek myths, but these are the main ones. I do agree with the results I got of the quiz which was Aphrodite for a few reasons. I feel that Aphrodite is a goddess that defines beauty and love. In my own way I feel that I am beautiful and I have a loving heart for all
