Показать описание
Before the Greek alphabet was established, myths were told orally, meaning that stories were open to influence, and had uncertain origins. Historian Robin Lane Fox journeys through the landscape and mindscape of the 2nd century BCE, taking us to Cyprus to demonstrate the fluid myth of Aphrodite: from the goddess of fertility, to the goddess of love.

Aphrodite represents Venus, therefore her dancing on the waves is her reflection on the shores whilst travelling the night skies.

This intrevuer is showing the same attitudes towards the feminine as hundred years ago. And why wasnt the woman appearing propperly interduced ? - and he was bussie talking a lot... nor listening.
