#Aphrodite Greek Goddess

[ephemeral-roses]

Based on the time, I was explaining Mystery Flesh Pit National Park lore, and it got to the topic of aphrodisiacs because of the Coke Heartthrob, but my friend didn't know what aphrodisiacs were, so when we asked him what he thought it was since it related to Aphrodite, he said "A kiss???". That was an insane sentence, I'm so sorry. But I absolutely do not blame him since I didn't know what 'libido' meant.

Also, yes, Ares is wearing a flower crown. My favorite genre of classical painting is when Ares is with Aphrodite and he is wearing a flower crown, that and when the Erotes are playing with his weapons and armor, and he just let's it happen.

Digital Offerings

Sun god, youthful and full of comforting, warm energy (and of course I added a black cat as a depiction of your sister)

Love goddess, beautiful and full of loving, sisterly energy (of course I added your signifier bird)

War goddess, strong and wise enough to motivate people by the thousands (of course I gave you your owl and a quill)

Aphrodite: Sorry to break this to you girls, but the "Fake it till you make it" doesn't apply to orgasms.

Food offerings are some of my favorites. They can be so simple yet so meaningful. Especially for a goddess like Aphrodite as food is vital for life, and Aphrodite is a goddess that is heavily connected to the liveing.

drawing aphrodite is actually so therapeutic like my art is infused with her "don't worry, love, it's beautiful just the way it is. like you."

I’ve complained about this before but tldr I hate how the story of the binding of Hera is reduced to Aphrodite’s forced marriage when she literally had nothing to do with that story and it was about Hephaestus and Hera’s relationship, not a single source mentions her as a prize, let alone even mention her at all.

What I want to complain about now is how ppl insist that Hephaestus forced Aphrodite to marry him, which again, doesn’t have any basis within the mythology, but it also reminds me of how ppl think that Zeus forced Hera to marry him, when most sources don’t even imply that (at least SOME sources support this idea while nothing supports the idea that Aphrodite was forced to be married) it’s low key a victim blaming mentality, Hera couldn’t have loved Zeus and married him willingly bc that would mean that whenever he abuses her it’s her fault for choosing to be with him, so he must have forced her into that marriage and she never loved him.

Same with Hephaestus and Aphrodite but it’s inverted, Aphrodite couldn’t have loved Hephaestus and married him willingly bc she cheats on him, we can’t have nuance so it MUST mean the it was Hephaestus who did something wrong and pushed her to cheat, he must have been neglectful and forced her into the marriage! Look I promise you, you can like Aphrodite and defend her without making shit up about the only disabled guy in the pantheon, it’s very easy.

Tbh I think it would be much more interesting for Hephaestus and Aphrodite to have a consensual arranged marriage and that they did love each other, but their marriage started to fall apart even before the cheating and that divorce was a positive for both of them.
