GODS, HUMANS AND FABULOUS ANIMALS 4 - Aphrodite

Aphrodite - a serene and contemplative goddess of love?The one born from the foam. There are many ancient statues of her, both in ancient Greece and in the Roman Empire. The Romans called her Venus. Nowadays she is a popular tattoo motif and is said to symbolize eternal love. No wonder her face adorns the arms and hearts of many a loving couple. And woe betide anyone who leaves the harbor of the relationship after a while; then the goddess of love turns out to be a merciless reminder of a failed love that takes the couple on a journey of aching passions, fear of loss and love madness. Forever love! #drumcheckwhoevergetstied up

Aphrodite is the goddess of love and the goddess of sensual pleasure at the same time. It's no wonder that no human being can cope with such a mixture. A person concentrates on one of the two applications, either love or lust, sometimes only a little of both. But Aphrodite can add 1 +1 together, and she lets everyone feel it. She is in love, she loves, then an affair here and there. Then wanting to be the most beautiful again...[caption id="attachment_4497" align="alignnone" width="724"]

(not named for privacy reasons, presumably Hephaestus) is initially a "despiser of women" until he, the old master blacksmith, takes her as his wife. The liaison goes well at first. But when he catches Aphrodite in bed with Ares, the fierce god of war, he ties them both up in a net out of jealousy and invites the other gods to look at them and laugh at them. Thepeople themselves never laugh at Aphrodite, on the contrary. The Greeks were so addicted to their goddess of love that they built temples to her with statues full of nudity. #siefeierndasThestatue of Aphrodite was the first to depict complete nudity. A first beginning of pornographic creation. There were rumors of secret back doors in the temples from which one could approach their revered goddess from "behind". #lovefrombehindThe fact that the buttocks of the goddess could be seen first was an incredible sensation for the Greeks. And the Greeks weren't usually prudish. When itcame to their goddess of love, they were insecure little mice.war or loveStartinga war is not too difficult for Aphrodite. The question of who was the most beautiful in the land turned into the Trojan War. Eris, the goddess of discord, was not invited to the wedding of Teleus and Pepis. Eris then threw an apple into the wedding party with the note that it belonged to the "fairest". Naturally, Aphrodite fought with Athens and Hera over the apple ("apple of discord"). Zeus then appointed the human Paris to choose the "most beautiful". After Aphrodite promised our Paris the most beautiful of all human women, Helen, as her wife, Aphrodite won this beauty contest. #beautiful

It's just a shame that Helen had to be abducted to Troy. To Paris. The other Greek tribes didn't find this very amusing and the war began. Troy against the rest of Greece. And Aphrodite is on the side of the Trojans. Only because she has an affair with A. (Ares?).

This is the modern woman who follows her taste alone. Bravo. Let the men hide in wooden horses and play war. Aphrodite knows why being human really matters. No one can avoid love, and above all the longing for it. Not the strongest warrior, not the best planner, not a hero. Everyone fails at the smallest question: "Will you go with me?" But very rarely is this request crowned with success. Then when man and woman understand each other. For the man, this means being able to understand women and still remain sexy. Very few men have mastered this art. But when it works, it's fabulous. Then it means dancing with Aphrodite, inviting her for a glass of wine, being interesting, creative, witty and masculine at the same time. Is there such a thing? I don't know. #idontknowHaving awoman, like Aphrodite, on your skin is a sign of approaching the world with passionate love. Only heroes have this mission; they deserve all our support, so the grade for Aphrodite as a tattoo motif is the best: 1For fans of: Lady Gaga, Walther von der Vogelweide, Wonder Woman, Boris Becker
