Aphrodite

New & Ancient Greek Tales

Beschreibung

Aphrodite, the mesmerizing Greek goddess of beauty, love, and passion, continues to fascinate. Born of sea foam, her tale is as profound as the ocean itself. Misunderstood as a fertility goddess, she embodies sensuality, sexuality, and maternal grace. This Myths, Gods, and Immortals book unveils her myths, cultural legacy, and bold reimaginings.
