Aphrodite: Sea
built 635 days ago
There are two versions of Aphrodite's birth. Hesiod's Theogony portrays Aphrodite as being sprung from Uranus alone. Uranus, or Heaven, refused to allow his children to emerge into the light, and perpetually embraced the Earth, his wife Gaia. His son Cronus then castrated him with a sickle and threw his genitals into the sea.

The first version suggested that Aphrodite was created from the foam of the sea when Cronus cut off Uranus’s genitals. Homer, in his poems, suggested that Aphrodite came from the union of Zeus and Dione.

It is not clear how the Greek goddess Aphrodite (... known as the Roman goddess Venus) came to be "sea-born". One legend was that Aphrodite was the daughter of the Titan Uranus, formed from his genitals that had been severed and tossed into the sea by his son Cronus who was in the process of usurping his father's throne.

Centuries later this legendary APHRODISIAC continues to be made by hand following Aphrodite's original recipe. It is ... made with the same natural waters from the Holy garden located near the seashore where Aphrodite was born.
