Aphrodite: Versions
built 623 days ago
In some versions overheard late at night at Thanasi's Olympus, Aphrodite tragically loses the love of her life. (Ladies, get the hankies out.) All the time Aphrodite was with Adonis, she sought only to please him. He was an avid huntsman and many times she would leave her swan-drawn chariot, in which she would effortlessly glide through the air, and join him in the forests dressed like a huntress (I can tell you she looked stunning in her fluorescent orange hunting toga...)

Along with Eros, the most frequently seen companions of Aphrodite are her attendants known as the three Graces, daughters of Zeus who personify charm, grace and beauty. They are almost always shown in the same pose, as seen below. The first view below is a Hellenistic sculpture, then a Pompeiian wall painting; then two from the Renaissance: one is a detail from Botticelli's Primavera, the other is a version by Raphael. The last one, by Rubens, is at least at bit unique; Rubens is known to have found larger women more attractive, and it shows here. In fact, the model for the figure on the right was the woman Rubens married.

Rapid changes in the Mozilla APIs in 2001 caused repeated breakages of Aphrodite, leading to a slowdown in development. In March of 2002 John Dobbins took over as primary developer of Aphrodite. The last release was Aphrodite .05 in November of 2000. This release worked with Netscape 6.0 and Mozilla M18. It will not work with newer versions of Mozilla or Netscape.
