Aphrodite

Aphrodite, deity of beauty, love, lust, passion, pleasure, procreation, and sexuality, in Greek mythology.

Quotes about Aphrodite:

 * Ares separates the opposites in the universe from each other, Hephaestus incessantly makes the whole organization of the sensible conform to the rules of art. These gods both need Aphrodite, one to bring agreement and order to opposites, the other to introduce into sensible works the beauty and all the splendour that has been able to make this world the most beautiful of visible things. (Proclus)
