Aphrodite Patroness of marriage and natural
growth.
Draped in the close-fitting chitron and long
robe, she holds to her breast a dove or fruit or flower, all symbols of
mating and fecundity. Aphrodite corresponds with Laxmi. This
reproduction from the Museum of Lyon is an archaic Ionian image of the
Goddess of Love which long pre-existed her more eroticized depictions at
the hands of Roman or Renaissance masters. Note the ritually-braided
hair the polos crown and the quiet authority of her eyes.
