The Roman goddess Venus (Aphrodite in Greece) is the goddess of love. In classical mythology, Venus, identified in Rome with the Greek goddess Aphrodite, is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. The myth tells of Venus’s birth from the waters, emerging from the foam generated by the fall into the sea of the genitals of the sky god, Uranus, mutilated by his son Cronus-Saturn. The aquatic origin of the goddess highlights Venus’s connection with water as a symbol of fertility, regeneration, and life. Venus was depicted with symbolic attributes such as the rose and the mirror, and animals like the dove or the swan, representing love in all its facets, ranging from universal harmony to human desire and passion, beauty, and seduction.

Venus was associated with various lovers, such as her legitimate husband, Vulcan, the god of the forge and fire, or his brother, Mars, the god of war. Venus also had human lovers like the beautiful Adonis, whose death led her to the Underworld, or the Trojan prince Anchises, with whom she bore Aeneas, considered by the Romans as their mythical ancestor.
