Thorn & Moon Bath Salts - Aphrodite - Luxurious All Natural Bath Salts

Aphrodite was the Olympian goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation. She was often depicted as a beautiful woman accompanied by the winged godling Eros (Love). The Greek word aphros means “foam,” and Hesiod relates in his Theogony that Aphrodite was born from the white foam produced by the severed pieces of Uranus (Heaven), after his son Cronus threw them into the sea. Aphrodite was also called Kypris or Cytherea after her birth-places in Cyprus and Cythera, respectively, both centers of her cult. She was associated with Hesperia and frequently accompanied by the Oreads, nymphs of the mountains. She was also often depicted with the sea, dolphins, doves, swans, pomegranates, sceptres, apples, myrtle, rose trees, lime trees, clams, scallop shells, and pearls. Her close association with Eros, the Graces (Charites), and the Horae (Seasons) emphasized her role as a promoter of fertility. Many believe her to be a version of the goddess Ashtart, also called Astarte, Ishtar, Isis, and a number of other variants, due to her appearance in different places around the Mediterranean and throughout the Middle East. As a goddess, Astarte held dominion not only over love, but also heaven and war. Aphrodite’s function was narrowed down to the goddess of love, although she is occasionally depicted with weapons or married to Ares, the Greek god of war.
