The weather in the holy island of Greece

Goddess of love and beauty in Greek mythology. It is one of the twelve gods of Olympus, known as Venus in Roman mythology, and is the Venus among the nine planets. She was born in the sea and is famous for her beauty. She is the wife of Hercules, the god of forging, and there are many legends about her love. In the works of art in ancient Greece and Rome, she was portrayed as a stunning beauty. The most famous statue is "Aphrodite of Milos" unearthed in Milos Island. Aphrodite (or Aphrodite, translated as Aphrodite Ludi) is a figure in ancient Greek mythology. She is the daughter of Zeus and Dione, the goddess of the sea. She was born in the waves, so she is called Aphrodite.

The beautiful Venus is considered to be the wife of Hercules on Olympus, but she has fallen in love with others many times: she had an affair with Ares, the god of war, and gave birth to five children; Have children with Hermes; He gave birth to Aeneas and the hero Snees. In Homer's time, she was often with the goddess of sequence, the goddess of graces and her son eros, the goddess of love. In Rome, she merged with Venus, the goddess of local fertile plants, and became the goddess of harvest and love. Because she was the mother of Aeneas, she was regarded as the female ancestor of Emperor julius. Many of her early images were in their prime and radiant, and later she was often portrayed as a naked woman. The most famous is the Greek sculpture in the 2nd century BC, also known as Venus of Milos. The statue is a marble circular sculpture, 2.04 meters high, carved by Alexander, found in the cave of Milos Island in the Aegean Sea in 1820, and is now in the Louvre Museum in France. The statue is noble and dignified, and its plump chest, rounded shoulders and flexible waist present a mature female beauty. The structural and dynamic changes of the human body are diverse and subtle. Statues reflect rich inner vitality and human spiritual wisdom. The style of the works is close to the works in the heyday of classicism in the fourth century BC, which was rare in the Hellenistic period. The statue's mutilated upper limbs constitute a unique beauty.

There is a story about Venus. Poseidon did not invite the goddess of dispute to get married. She was very angry with the goddess of dispute. In retaliation, she put a golden apple in a place, which read: For the most beautiful goddess. Venus, Athena and Hera are arguing about apples. They let Zeus, the king of the gods, judge who is more beautiful among them. Zeus asked Apollo to judge, and the embarrassed Apollo handed the task to Paris. Finally, Paris gave the apple to Venus. Athena and Hera were very angry, which led to the Trojan War in 10. Zeus, Poseidon, Athena and Ares all participated.

[Edit this paragraph] Literary praise

In ancient Greek mythology, Venus was the goddess of love; Legends about her often appear in the works of writers of past dynasties, and the most touching one is a long poem written for her by Shakespeare. This poem describes the love story of Venus.

It is said that there was a handsome man named eunice in ancient Greece, who eclipsed all the people and things in the world in front of him; But he has no interest in love, and only likes to gallop and hunt in the mountains.

One day, Venus happened to meet Erdene, fell in love at first sight, greeted him, hoping to chat with him for a while; But Urdunis refused to approach the opposite sex and refused Venus' kindness. Venus only used magic to control his actions and confide in him the wonder of love, but Erdene was unmoved and even more eager to get rid of her. Venus exhausted all sweet words and was willing to give many conditions. Finally, Erdene looked at Cupid with contemptuous eyes, which greatly stimulated her and made her faint.

Judith felt a little guilty and hoped to get her forgiveness, so he waited patiently for Venus to wake up. After Venus woke up, she continued to try her best to persuade Erdene, but she was still rejected. Cupid suddenly had a premonition that something would happen to eunice, so he advised him not to take the risk of hunting and let her protect himself by his side. But Urdonis didn't believe it. As a result, he was really killed by a porcupine while hunting in Rosty Yi. When Venus arrived, she was heartbroken to see that Ailang was dead. Sadness, cursing the love between men and women in the world, is always filled with suspicion, fear and sadness.

Respected

Cyprus is located in the eastern Mediterranean, with warm and rainy climate and fertile land. It developed agriculture thousands of years ago. During the harvest season, people hold celebrations to worship the goddess in charge of high yield. At first, the goddess of fertility was Cooper. Since about 3000 BC, the goddess of fertility has been handed down from generation to generation under the name of Aphrodite Ludi. Afu Loutit was later regarded as the god of love and beauty. It is said that this has something to do with her beauty and amorous feelings, but it is difficult to find out when it started. Some people say that it was after her "Hellenization", because in ancient Greek mythology, in Homer's epic Odysseus, living between the eighth and ninth centuries BC, she appeared as a national goddess of love and beauty. She is the wife of hephaestus, the god of lame craftsmen, but she often meets Ares, the handsome god of war, and is caught by her husband with a net. She also had sex with Hermes, the messenger of God, and gave birth to a child. Among her secular lovers, there are the beautiful girl eunice and the Trojan shepherd Anchas. She and Persephone fought for adonis's love and brought the lawsuit to Zeus. Zeus was impartial and stipulated that each of them would live with Erdene for four months every year. At the same time, she continued her tryst with Antoinette and gave birth to her son Aeneas. Aeneas was regarded as an ancestor by the ancient Romans. Caesar, the ancient Roman emperor, claimed to be a descendant of Aeneas. This once left a mockery of "climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix" in history, but it also reflected the ancient Romans' respect for this god of love and beauty from one side.

The earliest places to worship her were Cyprus, Coutela Island and Asia Minor. Later, her worship was introduced to Greece. Cyprus is the motherland of Aphrodite, and the remains of her worship can be seen everywhere. A marble statue of Aphrodite is on display in the museum in Nicosia, the capital. I saw that she had no arms, her head was slightly raised, her temples were upturned, and something like a bath towel was draped over her shoulders. Perhaps, this beautiful woman who has a special fate with seawater has just come out of the bath. In Salamis, the marble head of Aphrodite was excavated. In Paphos, known as the hometown of Aphrodite, a limestone head and a marble recumbent statue were dug out of the ground, and a marble statue of her was also found in the water. According to textual research, these statues are all works before the 3rd century BC.

Temples dedicated to Af Loutit can be seen all over Cyprus. One of the most famous is Old Paphos. This temple is located about 9 kilometers away from the "Stone of Love" and is now called Kukriya. It was built before the 3rd century BC and has the artistic style of Greek and oriental architecture. In the middle is a tall and magnificent main hall, and on both sides are magnificent side corridors. There are magnificent Stonehenge in front of the main hall and the side porch. This is the main place where ancient Cypriots worshipped Aphrodite. Strabo, an ancient Greek geographer and historian, once traveled to Cyprus. In his masterpiece Introduction to Geography, he described the warm scene of people commemorating Aphrodite. Within a few days after the autumn harvest, people got up at dawn, put on the most beautiful clothes, helped the old and brought the young, and rushed to the temple from all directions. In front of the temple, they sang and danced. In the temple, they burned incense and worshipped. Some people also ran to the seaside and threw bundles of bright flowers into the blue water to express their thoughts on the daughter of the sea, the embodiment of love and beauty. Unfortunately, this famous temple in history collapsed in a big earthquake in 15 BC. During the reign of the Roman Empire in Cyprus, Augustus the Great had planned to rebuild it as it was, but it failed to come true. The later emperors of the Roman Empire cast the pattern of the temple on the copper coins issued at that time, which became the only valuable temple appearance information today. Since19th century, people have discovered the ruins of the temple after many excavations, and found a statue of Aphrodite originally placed on the shrine in the temple. Now, the temple ruins are a ruin among weeds, and the outline of the original building can no longer be explored.

[Edit this paragraph] Symbolic significance

Myrtle was originally one of the goddess of harvest, her sacred tree, and her sacrifices were sparrows, pigeons and rabbits. After the formation of Olympus, it was regarded as the goddess of love, sex and beauty. The earliest places to worship her were Cyprus, Coutela Island and Asia Minor. Later, her worship was introduced to Greece.

As the goddess of the sea, her sacrifice is dolphins. Perhaps it is because of the legend that she was born in the sea, which is related to Poseidon. She is sometimes regarded as the patron saint of navigation. According to legend, in the waves of the Mediterranean, there are often siren haunts. They take pleasure in capsizing and feed on prisoners. Aphrodite hated such heinous acts and always severely punished them. So from ancient times to the present, there are always people who regard her as a god to ensure the safety of navigation. In ancient Cyprus and Greece, three-masted ships always provided her memorial tablets, and today, some small fishing boats along the Mediterranean coast always have her statues. Another legend says that she was born at sea and especially likes swimming in the sea. The place where she often swims is Polislin Beach. Polishlin Beach is located in Cape Arnotti in the northwest of Cyprus. This is a small bay between two ends of the earth. It's calm and beautiful. In the distance is the majestic Trudeau Mountain, and near it is the silver-gray olive tree, which is quiet and quiet. Because Afuluti often comes here to surf, this beach is called "the bathing place of love". Not far from the "bath", there is a clear spring flowing. The spring water is sweet and clear, and Aphrodite often comes to sip after taking a bath. This spring is therefore called "the fountain of God's love". Single men and women who drink this spring will fall in love and stay together forever. Married men and women who drink this spring water will be affectionate and grow old together. Therefore, when tourists come here, they all pick up a handful of water and have a few drinks, in order to walk on the smooth road of love and have all the good things.

As the goddess of love, she has a magical treasure belt. When a woman in ancient Greece got married, she would give her a belt she knitted. Legend has it that her priestess exchanged her body for money to serve her, which was related to the marriage system at that time. The god of love and beauty in Greek mythology, Venus and "Friday" in Latin all come from her Roman name.

Afu Loutit has the most perfect figure and appearance in ancient Greece, symbolizing love and female beauty, and is regarded as the highest symbol of female physical beauty. Because of Aphrodite's beauty, all the gods pursued her. Zeus (her father) also pursued her but was rejected, so Zeus married her to hephaestus, the ugly and lame Vulcan. But she loved Ares, the god of war, with whom she gave birth to little love god eros (the Roman name Cupid) and several other children.

Afu Loutit is the "most beautiful" goddess, and her life experience is amazing. At that time, the Olympians began to be willing to pursue power in the universe. One day, the bubbles floating on the sea gave off thousands of holy golden lights. With the ups and downs of the waves, a beautiful and lovely girl rose from the sea, emitting warmth and strength. She was taken to Cyprus by Poseidon, and later Cyprus became her holy island. Her beauty is indescribable, so she is appropriately called "beauty". She wears a golden crown on her immortal head. Her eyes are deep and soft, and her eyebrows are warm and peaceful. Her long hair falls like a waterfall on her beautiful neck and white chest. In addition, her slender fingers and rose-white feet add charming nobility and elegance to her beauty. When she first appeared on Mount Olympus, her slender and symmetrical figure not only won the cult of the gods, but also attracted the crazy jealousy of divines.

She was chosen as the goddess of love and marriage. In order to arouse the love in the hearts of all things in the universe and enable people, animals, plants and animals to reproduce, she traveled around in a car driven by sparrows, pigeons or swans. With the help of her youngest son, eros, the goddess of love, she aroused many touching stories of sadness and joy among gods and human beings. Due to a momentary negligence, she injected the concept of free love into her married life. She has been unfaithful to her husband hephaestus. Once, when she was lying with the god of war in Mars mythology, her husband caught her with a net. Later, he mischievously put them both before the gods. She is kind and responsible. She is always ready to help those couples who are in trouble. She loved Erdene and gave life to the stone statue Galati. In the competition, she also helped the young Hippomemphis.

[Edit this paragraph] Broken arm theory

Why did Venus break her arm? A French captain solved the mystery1999165438+1October 1 14:45 Yangzi Evening News.

As we all know, the sculpture of Venus is a broken arm. But whether there was no sculpture arm at first or it was broken later is little known. Not long ago, it was discovered that the memoirs of French captain Dumont-Gourville in the last century solved the mystery of 100.

Venus was dug up by the Greek Milo farmer olko in the spring of 1820. When Venus was unearthed, her right arm hung down, clutching clothes, and her left upper arm reached over her head, holding an apple. When Louis Brewster, the French consul in Milo, learned of the incident, he rushed to olko's residence in Iraq and offered to pay a high price for the statue, which was accepted by olko's in Iraq. But because he didn't have enough cash, he had to send Gourville to Constantinople overnight to report to the French ambassador. Upon hearing the report, the ambassador immediately ordered the secretary to rush to Milo overnight with a huge sum of money from Gourville to buy the Statue of Liberty, but he didn't know that the farmer olko had sold the statue to a Greek businessman and had shipped it abroad. Gulville immediately decided to take it by force. After learning the news, Britain also sent ships to fight for it. The two sides fought fiercely, and the sculpture's arm was unfortunately broken in the melee. Since then, Venus has become the goddess of brokeback.

[Edit this paragraph] Aphrodite and Rose.

When Aphrodite was born, God created roses at the same time, but only beautiful white roses. Rose branches have spikes because divines is jealous of Cupid's natural beauty.

Aphrodite once fell in love with adonis, a hunter on the earth. He is handsome, considerate and perfect, but at the same time he loves hunting. Even though Aphrodite objected, adonis still refused to give up. Finally, the tragedy appeared. Adonis was seriously injured by his prey in a hunting.

Aphrodite hurried to save him when he learned about it. On the way, the thorn of the white rose cut Aphrodite's barefoot and blood dripped into the water. The place where she ran is gradually full of bright red roses, which is the origin of red roses.

Finally, her lover died, and Aphrodite was lovelorn again. Perfect lovers have imperfect love.

Until today, when people pray for love, they always use bright red roses, because people hope that when Aphrodite sees the bright red roses, she will remember the happiness she and her lover once pursued and yearn for her blessing.

I remember seeing it in a Greek myth made up by the Germans, which is a version that is more faithful to the original myth.

Explain my personal view that many Greek myths we see now have been enriched or even changed after being integrated with Rome and other cultures. Perhaps there was no record of roses in the most primitive Greek mythology, but it was later enriched.

Venus, the goddess of love and beauty in Greek mythology, is also the goddess in charge of fertility and navigation, corresponding to Aphrodite in Greek mythology. Latin words such as "Venus" and "Friday" all come from here. Venus also appeared in many literary works and western oil paintings in past dynasties. The most influential work of art is the Venus statue found in the cave of Milos Island in the Aegean Sea in 1820.

A. Venus (Venus)

Venus is the goddess in ancient Roman mythology [1]. The goddess of love and beauty, who is in charge of fertility and navigation at the same time, is equivalent to Aphrodite in Greek mythology. Latin words such as "Venus" and "Friday" come from him.

Venus rises from the sea. It is said that at the beginning of the world, the goddess Kaya, who ruled the earth, combined with Uranus, who ruled heaven, and gave birth to a group of giants. Later, the husband and wife turned against each other. In a rage, Chaya ordered his youngest son, Cronus, to cut his father with a sickle. The male root of Uranus fell into the sea, causing bubbles, and Venus was born.

Legends about her often appear in the works of writers of past dynasties, and the most touching one is a long poem written for her by Shakespeare. This poem describes the love story of Venus.

It is said that there was a handsome man in ancient Greece, adonis, who eclipsed all the people and things in the world in front of him; But he has no interest in love, and only likes to gallop and hunt in the mountains.

One day, Venus met adonis by chance and fell in love at first sight. She greeted him, hoping to chat with him for a while. However, adonis refused to approach the opposite sex and refused Venus' kindness. Venus only used her magic to control his actions and confided in him the wonder of love, but adonis remained unmoved and showed more desire to get rid of her. Venus exhausted all sweet words and was willing to give many conditions. Adonis finally looked at Cupid with contemptuous eyes, which greatly stimulated her and made her faint.

Adonis felt a little guilty and hoped to get her forgiveness, so she waited patiently for Venus to wake up.

One of the broken arms is really a man's hand. It looks like a plumber's hand.

On August 5, 2003, the mysterious broken arm of the famous sculpture Venus was finally found! For a long time, people have been speculating that these arms are said to have seen the light of day in a cellar in southern Croatia, but surprisingly, the almost perfect Venus has a pair of ugly "men's hands". "We rushed the broken arms to the Louvre in Paris, and they were put together with the sculptures of Venus, and the results were surprisingly consistent." The art historian Auvitu O 'Bathori said, "Then we measured the carbon element to make sure it is true." This amazing discovery caused an uproar in the art world. "Unbelievable! An artist with such a high anatomical talent can't even shape a proportional finger? " Archaeologist Campbell questioned, "This is not the hand of the goddess! It is simply the hand of a plumber. " No one knows who created Venus when. She was found by a local farmer in a basement in the Aegean Sea. Over the years, art consultants have imagined all kinds of broken arm postures-holding an apple, a lamp, clothes or pointing in all directions. But after discussion, if the hand is connected, Venus is no longer a work of art-a funny ordinary sculpture, so it is not connected in the end.

* Whether the broken arm is reset is controversial.

"Unbelievable! An artist with such a high anatomical talent can't even shape a proportional finger? " Campbell Horschel, an archaeologist who discovered the mysterious broken arm, questioned, "This is not like the hand of a goddess, but like the hand of a plumber!"

For this shocking news, art critics and historians have had a heated debate-whether to reset the long-lost broken arm. The advocate of the dissenting party is Bartoli, a historian of Ludwig National Art Museum. Bathori said, "These deformed arms are really uncomfortable. I'm sure it is for this reason that the creator took them off the main body of Venus sculpture. He knows that without these ugly arms, the work will be perfect. " On the other side of the argument, Gosaibi weisberg, an art critic, said, "This is a historic discovery, and the sculpture should be restored to its original state."

Cupid and Pisces

Legend 1-

Venus, the beautiful goddess, took her beloved son little love god Cupid to a luxurious banquet. In this banquet, all the participants are gods, which can be called "God's feast".

Divines are more gorgeous than each other, and no one wants to be surpassed by others: as for the male gods, they are all in groups of three or five, talking with glasses in their hands. And naughty children, can't help it, are playing hide and seek.

When the whole party gradually reached its climax and everyone was intoxicated by delicious food and fragrant drunkenness, an unexpected guest suddenly came and ruined the atmosphere of the whole party. This uninvited guest has a very ferocious appearance and an evil heart. The purpose of his appearance at the party was to destroy it. Obviously, he achieved this goal. He reached over the food table and threw the potted plants into the pool. His terrible expression frightened everyone present. Everyone began to run around, and the original beautiful banquet turned into such panic, screams and children's cries.

At this moment, Venus suddenly found Cupid missing. She looked around nervously, regardless of the presence of unexpected guests. Venus searched every corner of the party and finally found Cupid, who was shivering under the piano. Venus couldn't help hugging Cupid in her arms.

In order to prevent Cupid from being separated from her again, Venus thought of a way to tie two people's feet together with a rope and then turn them into two fish. In this way, she managed to escape from this terrible party.

Legend 2-

Venus, the god of love and beauty in ancient Roman mythology, and her son little love god Cupid were attacked by monsters by the river. Mother and son quickly jumped into the river and turned into two fish and ran away. Probably because of the fear of separation between mother and son, there is a belt between the two fish, which together form Pisces.

The ruler of Pisces is Neptune, the brother of Zeus in Greek mythology.

Legend 3-

Venus and Cupid were once chased by the giant Di Feng. They both jumped into the Euphrates River and escaped as fish. Mineave (another name for Athena) turned fish into stars, and God commemorated this event.

Suddenly there was a scream. This is Fan Jie, a monster with a hundred snakes and big wings. The gods looked pale and fled everywhere. Zeus became a bird, Apollo became a crow, Hera became a cow, julius became a goat, and all the gods fled in the form of animals. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and her son, Giroz, the god of love, turned into fish and fled into the Euphrates River. At that time, they decided to tie their tails together with ribbons and never separate, thus successfully escaping from the monster. In this way, mother and son ascended to heaven with their tails connected and never separated. This is the origin of Pisces.

Venus is one of the eight planets, and it is the second planet from near to far from the sun. It is the closest planet to the earth. China called it Taibai or Taibai Venus in ancient times. It is sometimes the morning star, which appears in the eastern sky before dawn and is called "Qi Ming". Sometimes it is a dim star, which appears in the western sky after dusk and is called Chang Gung. Venus is the brightest star except the sun and the moon in the whole day, with the maximum brightness of -4.4, which is 14 times brighter than the famous Sirius (the brightest star except the sun in the whole day), like a dazzling diamond, so the ancient Greeks called it Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, while the Romans called it Venus, the god of beauty.

In Greek and Roman mythology, Venus is the embodiment of love and beauty-the goddess Venus. Venus is a good name given to her by the Romans, which means "beautiful painting". In Greek mythology, her name is Aphrodite, which means "rising bubble", because it is said that she was born in a bubble at sea. Venus has the most perfect figure and appearance in Roman mythology and has always been regarded as the highest symbol of female physical beauty. Her beauty envied many goddesses and charmed countless gods, even her father Zeus had pursued her. However, after Zeus's courtship was rejected, he was very angry and married her to a poor craftsman Vulcan (Hector Fista in Greek mythology). However, Venus later fell in love with Mars and gave birth to several children, including little love god Cupid.

Venus has been pursuing love all her life, but the heat of love is always short-lived. She is not single-minded about love. Among her countless romances, the story between her and adonis is the most poignant and moving. Adonis is a handsome and brave young hunter. One day, Venus met adonis who was hunting, and soon they fell in love. Worried that hunting was too dangerous, she advised adonis not to hunt fierce beasts, but adonis didn't think so. Venus left him in a rage and flew to the shrine. Soon, an unfortunate thing happened. Adonis was killed by a fierce wild boar while hunting. Venus heard her lover's moan in mid-air and flew back to the ground, only to see his bloody body. Venus was heartbroken. She spilled wine on adonis, and the blood and wine blended with each other, sending out bursts of bubbles, and then fell to the ground like raindrops. Soon a blood-like flower grew on the ground, beautiful and charming, but its life span was short. It is said that the wind blew it away and immediately blew its petals off. This is autumn peony, also called "wind flower", which has become a beautiful flower sacrifice for this touching love story.
