Aphrodite is an ancient Greek goddess associated with love, beauty, pleasure, passion and procreation, she was married to Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and metalworking. She is identified with the planet Venus, which is named after the Roman goddess Venus. Aphrodite's major symbols include myrtles, roses, doves, sparrows, and swans. Aphrodite's main cult centers were Cythera, Cyprus, Corinth, and Athens. Her main festival was the Aphrodisia, which was celebrated annually in midsummer. In Hesiod's Theogony, Aphrodite is born off the coast of Cythera from the foam produced by Uranus's genitals, which his son Cronus has severed and thrown into the sea. In Homer's Iliad, however, she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. The Birth of Venus is one of William-Adolphe Bouguereau's most famous paintings. It differs from Sandro Botticelli's version as a depiction of the transportation of Venus in a shell. This painting's similarity with Raphael's The Triumph of Galatea is also noted.
