CAIRO, Feb 14 (SEE)-In legends of ancient people in Greece there was always a space for love. For example, Aphrodite was Goddess of love, beauty, desire and lust.
On the other hand, Venus, who was born from sea foam and arrived Cyprus in a shell, was the Roman’s version of the Greek Aphrodite and was closely related to love, beauty and fertility.
The Egyptian archeologist Hussein Bassir said Venus’s name is derived from the word “venereal” which means lust.
"Also, Aphrodite’s name was derived from the word “aphrodisiac” which means a strong sexual desire," he added.
Great Roman Goddess Venus was the volcano’s consort and had a principle role in many Roman’s religious ceremonies, according to legends in Roman mythology.
She had multiple romantic relationships and she had many lovers like Faun, Niritis, Adonis, Hermes, Deniseus, Poseidon and others.
It’s surprising that, she was Hephaestus’s wife but both spouses got their children only from their other lovers and not from their sexual relation.
Back to Aphrodite, she was living on top of Olympus Mountain in the company of 11 other Gods.
It’s noticeable that Aphrodite was daughter of The Greek God Zeus and the Powerful Dion Solaila.
Cupid or Eros, God of love to the Greeks, was Aphrodite’s son and he was so beautiful and renowned by his great effect on lovers.
In Greece methodology, he was always imagined to hold a female rabbit that was symbolizing sever lust.
As a young boy at the age of seven, he had always been portrayed as an angel with two wings.
Sometimes, he was holding a pouch with sharp arrows inside and one day he was injured by one of these arrows which drove him to love a woman called “Saiki”.
Cupid loved Saiki from depths of his heart but he preferred to keep his one-side love as a secret in order not to get his mother angry.
Other times he was imagined to be blind quite like love, as a lover couldn’t see his partner’s flaws.
