About this artwork

According to Hesiod, she is the daughter of Uranus. His son Kronos, on the advice of his mother Gaia, cut off his sexual organs with a sickle and "threw them behind him" into the sea. The blood and semen mixed with the sea, which foamed all around and gave birth to Aphrodite, who after Hesiod landed first on Cythera and then on the coast of Cyprus. There, according to the Homeric hymns, the Hores adorned her before she was presented to the immortals. According to Pausanias and Nonnus of Panopolis, it was the goddess Thalassa who received the seed. After being accepted into Olympus, she became the adoptive daughter of Zeus. There are also other myths about the descent of the goddess, for example Homer's daughter of Zeus and Dione, daughter of Zeus also in the Homeric hymns. Another, albeit late, source names her, together with the Erinyes and the Moirae, as the daughter of Kronos.
