And with her went Eros (Love), and comely Himeros (Desire) followed her at her birth at the Eros (Love), (Desire) first and as she went into the assembly of the gods. This honour she has from the beginning, and this is the portion allotted to her amongst men and undying gods, - the whisperings of maidens and smiles and deceits with sweet delight and love and graciousness. " Homeric Hymn 5 to Aphrodite (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C 7 th to 4 th B. C. ) : "Golden Aphrodite Kypria, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods and subdues the tribes of mortal men. . . these love the deeds of rich-crowned Kythereia. . . there is nothing among the blessed gods or among mortal men [except for Athena, Artemis and Hestia] that has escaped Aphrodite.

Homer, Iliad 14. 187 ff : "[Hera asks Aphrodite if she may borrow her girdle of desire: ] ‘Long time they [the married couple Okeanos and Tethys] have stayed apart from each other and from the bed of love, since rancour has entered their feelings. Could I win over with persuasion the dear heart within them and bring them back to their bed to be merged in love with each other. ’. . . She spoke, and from her breasts unbound the elaborate, pattern-pierced zone, and on it are figured all beguilement (philotes), and loveliness is figured upon it, and passion of sex (himeros) is there, and the whispered endearment (oaristos) that steals the heart away even from the thoughtful. . . ‘Take this zone, and hide it away in the fold of your bosom. It is elaborate, all things are figured therein. And I think whatever is your heart's desire shall not go unaccomplished. ’" After Giovanni Battista Cipriani , Venus tying her magic girdle around the waist of Juno, 1776 -1823

C. ) : "Golden Aphrodite Kypria, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods and subdues the tribes of mortal men and birds that fly in air and all the many creatures that the dry land rears, and all the sea: all these love the deeds of rich-crowned Kythereia.

After her came grey wolves, fawning on her, and grim-eyed lions, and bears, and fleet leopards, ravenous for deer: and she was glad in heart to see them, and put desire in their breasts, so that they all mated, two together, about the shadowy coombes. " Aeschylus, Fragment 25 Danaides (from Athenaeus, Deipnosophists xiii. 73. 600 B) (trans. Smyth) (Greek tragedy C 5 th B. C. ) : "The holy Heaven (ouranos) yearns to wound the Earth (khthon) [i. e. Gaia], and yearning layeth hold on the earth to join in wedlock; the rain, fallen from the amorous heaven, impregnates the earth, and it bringeth for mankind the food of flocks and herds and Demeter’s gifts; and from that moist marriage-rite the woods put on their bloom. Of all these things I [Aphrodite, goddess of procreation] am the cause. " Orphic Hymn 55 to Aphrodite (trans. Taylor) (Greek hymns C 3 rd B. C. to 2 nd A. D. ) : "To Aphrodite. . . 'Tis thine the world with harmony to join, for all things spring from thee, O power divine. . . all productions yield alike to thee: whatever the heavens, encircling all, contain [that is, the birds], earth fruitproducing [animals], and the stormy main [fish], thy sway confesses, and obeys thy nod. " Orphic Hymn 58 to Eros : "Eros (Love). . . keeper of the keys of heaven and earth, the air [birds], and spreading seas [fish]; of all that earth's fertile realms contains [animals], by which the all parent Goddess [Aphrodite] life sustains, or dismal Tartaros is doomed to keep, widely extended, or the sounding deep; for thee all nature’s various realms obey, who rulest alone, with universal sway.

" Pompey, Sulla's protege, vied with his patron and with Caesar for public recognition as her protege. In 55 BC he dedicated a temple to her at the top of his theater in the Campus Martius. She had a shrine on the Capitoline Hill, and festivals on August 12 and October 9. A sacrifice was annually dedicated to her on the latter date. In neo-classical art, her epithet as Victrix is often used in the sense of 'Venus Victorious over men's hearts' or in the context of the Judgement of Paris Venus Victrix by Canova.
