Astarte
Aphrodite
[a]
is an
ancient Greek goddess
associated with
love
,
beauty
,
pleasure
,
passion
and
procreation
. She was syncretized with the Roman goddess
Venus
. Aphrodite's major symbols include
myrtles
,
roses
,
doves
,
sparrows
, and
swans
. The cult of Aphrodite was largely derived from that of the
Phoenician goddess
Astarte
, a
cognate
of the
East Semitic
goddess
Ishtar
, whose cult was based on the
Sumerian cult
of
Inanna
. Aphrodite's main cult centers were
Cythera
,
Cyprus
,
Corinth
, and
Athens
. Her main festival was the
Aphrodisia
, which was celebrated annually in midsummer. In
Laconia
, Aphrodite was worshipped as a warrior goddess. She was also the patron goddess of
prostitutes
, an association which led early scholars to propose the concept of "
sacred prostitution
" in Greco-Roman culture, an idea which is now generally seen as erroneous.
In
Hesiod
's
Theogony
, Aphrodite is born off the coast of Cythera from the foam (
ἀφρός
,
aphrós
) produced by
Uranus
's genitals, which his son
Cronus
has
severed
and thrown into the sea. In
Homer
's
Iliad
, however, she is the daughter of
Zeus
and
Dione
.
Plato
, in his
Symposium
180e, asserts that these two origins actually belong to separate entities:
Aphrodite Ourania
(a transcendent, "Heavenly" Aphrodite) and
Aphrodite Pandemos
(Aphrodite common to "all the people"). Aphrodite had many other
epithets
, each emphasizing a different aspect of the same goddess, or used by a different local cult. Thus she was also known as
Cytherea
(
Lady of Cythera
) and
Cypris
(
Lady of Cyprus
), because both locations claimed to be the place of her birth.
In
Greek mythology
, Aphrodite was married to
Hephaestus
, the god of fire, blacksmiths and metalworking. Aphrodite was frequently
unfaithful
to him and had many lovers; in the
Odyssey
, she is caught in the act of adultery with
Ares
, the god of war. In the
First Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite
, she seduces the mortal shepherd
Anchises
. Aphrodite was also the surrogate mother and lover of the mortal shepherd
Adonis
, who was killed by a
wild boar
. Along with
Athena
and
Hera
, Aphrodite was one of the three goddesses
whose feud
resulted in the beginning of the
Trojan War
and she plays a major role throughout the
Iliad
. Aphrodite has been featured in
Western art
as a symbol of
female beauty
and has appeared in numerous works of
Western literature
. She is a major deity in modern
Neopagan religions
, including the
Church of Aphrodite
,
Wicca
, and
Hellenismos
.
