Description

A Cultural History Of The Goddess Of Love, From A New York Times Bestselling And Award-Winning Historian. Aphrodite Was Said To Have Been Born From The Sea, Rising Out Of A Froth Of White Foam. But Long Before The Ancient Greeks Conceived Of This Voluptuous Blonde, She Existed As An Early Spirit Of Fertility On The Shores Of Cyprus -- And Thousands Of Years Before That, As A Ferocious Warrior-Goddess In The Middle East. Proving That This Fabled Figure Is So Much More Than An Avatar Of Commercialized Romance, Historian Bettany Hughes Reveals The Remarkable Lifestory Of One Of AntiquityS Most Potent Myths. Venus And Aphrodite Brings Together Ancient Art, Mythology, And Archaeological Revelations To Tell The Story Of Human Desire. From Mesopotamia To Modern-Day London, From Botticelli To Beyonc, Hughes Explains Why This Immortal Goddess Continues To Entrance Us Today -- And How We Trivialize Her Power At Our Peril.
