Document Summary
Midterm is next week on february 11th. Born from the genitals of ouranos (was created from the dismembered body parts of ouranos thrown into the sea from hesiod"s version) this story implies that she preceded the olympians. Suggests that she"s a universal mother goddess . Born from zeus and dione there aren"t really any stories of how aphrodite was born from zeus and. Some greeks thought that this story was created to lessen aphrodite since they didn"t want her to be so powerful this story makes aphrodite one of the olympians though. Two goddesses? this is a suggestion made by plato because of aphrodite"s two very different birth stories (from plato"s symposium). Different temples worship these two different aphrodites. Originated because people wanted to draw people together in state. Originated from the eastern idea of the goddess of love. Goddess of love and desire love in marriage (at athens)
