Aphrodite - Goddess of Love and Beauty
Aphrodite ("foam-arisen"), goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. Her Roman equivalent is the Venus. She was said to have been born when Cronus severed Uranus' genitals and threw them into the sea. Her festival, Aphrodisia, was celebrated across Greece.
Devotees celebrated the day by decorating small toy boats with flower garlands and sending them out to sea bearing petitions for Aphrodite.
