Head of a statue of Aphrodite, ancient Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation, stands proudly on display. Identified with the planet Venus, she's closely tied to the Roman goddess Venus, with whom she shares extensive syncretic ties. Major symbols associated with Aphrodite include myrtle, roses, doves, sparrows, and swans, all of which hold significant meaning in her mythology. A free Roman copy of a statue at Epidauros' sanctuary showcases her enduring legacy.
