Muse, sing the deeds of golden Aphrodite, Who wakens with her smile the lulled delight Of sweet desire, taming the eternal kings Of Heaven, and men, and all the living things That fleet along the air, or whom the sea, Or earth, with her maternal ministry, Nourish innumerable, thy delight All seek ... O crowned Aphrodite! ...from Homer's Hymn to Venus Venus or Aphrodite was known as the Goddess of loving kindness, beauty, fertility, and at times even wedlock; she was also reputedly the queen of laughter, the mistress of the graces and pleasures, and the patroness of courtesans. |
