APHRODITE

Goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and passion. Her main powers catered towards love and desire which allowed her to easily seduce any person of her choosing. She was the subject and model for the famous sculpture 'Venus de Milo'. Aphrodite was directly responsible for the Trojan war. She sided with the Trojans in the Trojan War because Paris and her son, the hero Aeneas, were Trojans. She also persuaded the god of war, Ares, to support Troy during the war. In book III of Homer's Iliad, it is told that Aphrodite eventually saves Paris when Menelaus is about to kill him.

She was usually depicted as a regal woman, wearing a crown and veil and holding a lotus-tipped staff. Although she was the goddess of marriage, Zeus’s many affairs drive her to jealousy and anger. Her sacred animals are the heifer, the peacock and the cuckoo

Come with me, the river said, close your eyes and quiet your limbs and float with me into the wonder and mystery of the canyons, see the unknown and the little known, look upon the stone gods face to face, see Medusa, drink my waters, hear my song, feel my power, come along and drift with me toward the distant, ultimate and legendary sea.

- Edward Abbey
