The sculpture "Aphrodite" from the ancient Roman Empire period

Aphrodite, also known as Aphrodite in Greek, is the goddess of love and beauty in ancient Greek mythology. She is also the goddess of sexuality and one of the twelve Olympian gods. Because it was born in the ocean, it is sometimes revered as a patron saint for navigation. Aphrodite was born on the waves of the sea, with porcelain like skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, and the perfect figure and appearance of ancient Greek women, symbolizing the beauty of women and considered the highest symbol of female physical beauty. It is currently housed in the Capitoline Museum.
