EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image showcases Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love, beauty, and the sea. In this depiction, she is portrayed as the "Woman of the Sea," surrounded by the vast expanse of water, with waves gently lapping at her feet. Aphrodite's iconic emblem, a graceful dolphin, leaps joyfully beside her, symbolizing her power and dominion over the sea. The dolphin, known as the king of the fishes, is a fitting companion for Aphrodite. In Greek mythology, dolphins were believed to be messengers of the gods and were often associated with Aphrodite's son, Eros, or Cupid in Roman mythology. Here, Cupid is depicted riding the dolphin, further emphasizing the close connection between Aphrodite, the sea, and the playful, amorous spirit of love. Mercury, the Roman god of commerce, travel, and thieves, is the father of Cupid. The union between Aphrodite and Mercury resulted in the birth of their son, who would go on to spread love and desire among mortals. This print beautifully encapsulates the mythological tale of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and the sea, and her connection to the dolphin and her son, Cupid.
