Product Information

According to Ovid, Pygmalion was an exceedingly handsome sculptor from the island of Cyprus, who was so sickened by the immorality of women that he refused to marry. One of Aphrodite's most common literary epithets is Philommeidḗs ( φιλομμειδής), [61] which means "smile-loving", [61] but is sometimes mistranslated as "laughter-loving". These girls by the wrath of Aphrodite (reasons unknown) cohabited with foreigners and ended their life in Egypt.

Louis Geofroy described it as a "dream of youth realized with the power of maturity, a happiness that few obtain, artists or others. Pink pepper has a strong slimming effect, achieving a centimetric reduction in abdomen, hips and thighs. More recently, Michael Janda, also accepting Hesiod's etymology, has argued in favor of the latter of these interpretations and claims the story of a birth from the foam as an Indo-European mytheme.

During the Hellenistic and Roman periods, statues depicting Aphrodite proliferated; [271] many of these statues were modeled at least to some extent on Praxiteles's Aphrodite of Knidos.

The Greek lyric poets regarded the power of Eros and Himeros as dangerous, compulsive, and impossible for anyone to resist.

The significant influence of Near Eastern culture on early Greek religion in general, and on the cult of Aphrodite in particular, [42] is now widely recognized as dating to a period of orientalization during the eighth century BC, [42] when archaic Greece was on the fringes of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. According to the version of her birth recounted by Hesiod in his Theogony, [94] [95] Cronus severed Uranus' genitals and threw them behind him into the sea. In the version of the story from Ovid's Metamorphoses, Hippomenes forgets to repay Aphrodite for her aid, [169] [166] so she causes the couple to become inflamed with lust while they are staying at the temple of Cybele. The couple desecrate the temple by having sex in it, leading Cybele to turn them into lions as punishment.
