l- APHP,ODITI By: Panogiotis Aphrodite is the clossicol Greek goddess of love, lust and beouty. She was born from the foam of the seo near Pafos in Cyprus covering a part of Uranus' body (his testicles) that were cut off by his son Kronos. After the testicles fell in the sed neor the island of Kithiro they were led by the woter to Cyprus ond from the foam covering them the most beautiful womon of oll made her appearonce, the goddess nomed Aphrodite. Because of her supernoturol beauty zeus wds frightened that the male gods would quarrel over her creating mdny problems ond conflicts so he got her married with l'lephaestus, the dour and ugly god of fire ond smithing. Another myth soys that ofter Heto, his mother, hod cast him off Olympus deeming him ugly and deformed he tropped her in o magic throne asking in return for Aphrodite to be his wife to leave his mother free. l-lephoestus wos overioyed of being married to the goddess of. beauty and forged her beautiful iewellery, including the cestus, o girdle that made her even more irresistible to men. Her unhoppiness with her marrioge coused Aphrodite to seek ouf companionship from others, most frequently Ares, but olso Adonis. Aphrodite's most fomous son wos Eros, the god of love, who helped her with her work. A tolented orcher, his iob was to shoot orrows dipped in Aphrodite's love potion, hitting her unwitting victims, causing them to foll modly in love with the next person they saw. Many of the greot love stories began this woy, but mony respectoble homes were broken up os well. Although she wos most often loving and generous, Aphrodite could be quite malicious and vindictive as well. She insisted upon being given the honor she felt was due to her and wos quick and harsh in punishing those who weren't sufficiently appreciative of her efforts. Ares, Medeo, Psyche, and Atalanta, to name o few, could ottest thot the 6reek goddess Aphrodite's power wos immense. http:/ /goo.gUy966w P3 ^s >!fc+P elq9 +H 9{,D *o7q g E E 6 1 FE E r EJ p^ a a# ts*E a E9 o= 5f t'D a i'i - +i A 3 E s;-n Fd Bo- BerrE i$$til*rErfgFHI+ Dv ;Ftg. .^ a H'E x 3r i55 EJ -' <o cre I "rig;Sl;:F q! 9- { E 1' q =.-z 3 o g Af 61' *fr s s f * E H 3* >3 lj2.^-'-244J '*-c EIq9 v o!' tt glatsi'*g'iglgas +a .d Eci :l^ rtfr;3i J ! r gq <q7a3igH8-i*# Oa) g d 3 F tSi-Z'tr'h-3 z; z: d'z 9,< tr * a \J HJ 8.6 e tr6 I l'*5: J i E'o *v 9 z16-R A f,^ +g -t E.o t Z -F a'p6 g g "3 H"'F 3 , o"dr ,^2> >E-o"5 3 0- o tr Q> ^6 3t dx riF?g;3: H "t 'o ttf+ gi 6 qd r; $*iiE: -er i **ir:63'x d i6 ?E. ;+ i p LI i('Dits \lsl s) sl o- dr q1q 5{ 1 H F fi S I 61: J**>d *E a i'-. f E-*9 H's g ;g d E Ff [+f F,TVi2 F:3q:<16'=d- q pli# I ; iEgr 9>9"' E9r YYZi.!+ l * +ii I i r } i tai i ii 1 $$fl 694 ts R c.a itl A) -lir |'| -:i6;.? +&g-Eo !'tr_ 9. €6:r €-j ri;$F * .! :' O- d .! a'i -t ^P(.Ddht i *:Eia q'{9"8 EF a*l ril fe; i lfeii r 1gfi + i r++e id ts F nrl f , Q: E +A A n; H B 3 H a I i: aF iAo e@ J J!-!VH F-' 3 oE 3 A-- d 3FE iX19 lisiilii lii*it4F;a+tirI V 6 r 6 < I E E N 8"5 3 iri rili3 ? alrg $i;.!::-: IET i=?ilit$E6t[[ 9ts.;VAr^'O il qi F - t('--:tF O- - v " - EFyE i a F s a P A I * :F iil ^, 9--So * iJxYal r*a* E.H H gF +[€gF r r]: iata i*q;Y g .43 A [[**?ii - U r*i i d 5'6 JE.9E €?Xir5:F5,'o.4d gara; I :i0!
