Greek Aphrodite, Roman Venus is the goddess of sexual attraction, love and beauty.
Can you name any celebrity or famous person who could be equated with Aphrodite/Venus?
How do you think we manage or accept this kind of figure in society? For the Greeks, her promiscuous behavior was seen as nothing to worry about. As long as you weren't having sex with a slave, a married woman, or a woman in higher class, you were pretty much free on anything (and many people had sex with slaves anyways!)
