MODERN MYTHOLOGY + GODDESSES:  A P H R O D I T E

The most beautiful of all the goddesses was Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. She was often called the “sea-born” goddess, because she was formed one evening from the foam of the sea, where its waves beat upon a rocky shore. Her eyes were as blue as the summer sky overhead, her skin as fair as the white sea-foam from which she came, and her hair as golden as the yellow rays of the setting sun. When she stepped from the water upon the beach, flowers sprang up under her feet; and when she was led into the assembly of the gods, every one admired and loved her.
