Hey guys! I hope you enjoy this post!
Aphrodite really affected ancient greek culture. Greeks built a temple in honor of her. This temple is called the Temple of Aphrodite. Now there are only fourteen standing columns. There used to be over forty columns. Historians say that this awesome temple was built in 1st century BCE. No statues were found inside of the temple, but there was a statue found just outside the temple. The goddess is stretching out one of her arms. There are a lot of interesting reliefs on the dress that the woman is wearing. There is the sun god and moon goddess, the three graces with Aphrodite in the middle, Aphrodite with three cupids and they are on a goat that has the tail of a fish. I personally think that it is weird for a goat to have a fish tail, but I think that it is still really cool.
Bye!!! I hope you will read my next blog!!!
