Afrodíte

Gods - Greek mythology 

 

Aphrodite (Greek: Αφροδίτη, transl .: Aphrodítē) is the goddess of love, beauty and sexuality in the ancient Greek religion. Responsible for the perpetuation of life, pleasure and joy. Historically, his cult in Ancient Greece was imported from Asia, influenced by the cult of Astarte in Phenicia, and his cognate, the goddess Ishtar of the Akhad. Both were goddesses of love, and their attributes and rituals were incorporated into the Greek cult of Aphrodite. In the Roman era, it would be Aphrodite's turn to be the influence, giving rise to its Roman equivalent, the goddess Venus.

 

Mentions:

 

In Greek mythology, the most famous version of his birth told by Hesiod, it was born when Cronus cut the genitals of Uranus and threw them into the sea; of the foam (aphros) arose Aphrodite arose. However to Homer, prior to Hesiod, she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione. During the period of Plato, the Greeks had solved this conflict by affirming that Aphrodite has two different aspects, without individualizing the cult: the first Aphrodite Urania, would be the celestial Aphrodite, of the divine and homosexual love. The daughter of Zeus would be the Aphrodite of the common love, of the people, denominated Aphrodite Pandemos from where the physical love and lascivious desires emanated. The main myths surrounding the goddess are the saga of the Trojan War, where she protected the city of Troy and lovers Helena and Paris; her persecution of mortals who offended her, as Psyche and Hippolytus; the blessings given to believers like Pygmalion to live with their loved ones; and his various affairs, such as Ares and Adonis.

Aphrodite received several epithets, mainly because their cults varied in each Greek city. It received the names of Citere or Citereia and Cypria by two places where its cult was celebrated in the Antiquity, Citera and Cyprus - each claiming to be the birthplace of the goddess. Aphrodite still received many other local names, such as Acidalia and Cerigo, used in specific regions of Greece. Even with different cults, the Greeks recognized the general similarity of all as being the only Aphrodite.

Aphrodite, along with Apollo, represents the ideal of beauty of the ancient Greeks. It was constantly reproduced in the Arts, from Antiquity to the Contemporary Age, given the opportunity of artists to imagine a divine beauty. Nowadays, his myth continues to influence culture, and many aspects of neo-paganism have worshiped him again.
