Aphrodite: Greece
built 607 days ago
Aphrodite had a festival of her own, the Aphrodisiac (... referred to as Aphrodisia), which was celebrated all over Greece but particularly in Athens and Corinth. At the temple of Aphrodite on the summit of Acrocorinth (before the Roman destruction of the city in 146 BC) intercourse with her priestesses was considered a method of worshiping Aphrodite. This temple was not rebuilt when the city was reestablished under Roman rule in 44 BC, but it is likely that the fertility rituals continued in the main city near the agora.

For Aphrodite any image of a beautifully attractive woman will do. A picture from ancient Greece would be a very attractive Greek woman dressed in clothes of the time, if she had any clothes on at all. Praxiteles carved a statue of Aphrodite that was totally nude. He used a very famous courtesan Phryne as the model. But you can tell that his model was ancient Greek because of her hair style. He even included a ribbon in her hair.
