  • Title: Goddes of Love
  • Artist: Tsuki Hani
  • Description: In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture.

    According to Hesiod, she was born when Uranus (the father of the gods) was castrated by his son Cronus. Cronus threw the severed genitals into the ocean which began to churn and foam about them. From the aphros ("sea foam") arose Aphrodite, and the sea carried her to either Cyprus or Cythera.

    Hence she is often referred to as Kypris and Cytherea. Homer calls her a daughter of Zeus and Dione.

  • Very nice, the dress reminds me of the sea foam
    that Aphrodite was born of. I'm planning on
    studying mythology in my senior year, so I'm
    really enjoying the information given. Don't
    listen to the negative comments unless they are
    'constructive' I like the dress so flip the bird
    to them. You had an idea and you ran with it.
    10/10 and keep it up!
