Aphrodite 9 cm

This bonded bronze statue depicts Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and desire. Standing gracefully with flowing hair, she emerges from the sea, referencing her mythical birth. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, Aphrodite was born from sea foam when Cronus severed Uranus’ genitals and cast them into the ocean. She arrived onshore, often depicted on a shell, symbolizing purity and allure. Revered across Greece, Aphrodite played a vital role in many myths, including the Trojan War, where she favored Paris. As a powerful Olympian, she influenced love and passion, shaping both mortal and divine relationships throughout mythology.
