Aphrodite

ITEM NO:AG-SA135
NAME: Aphrodite (Venus)
PRICE: $41.95

Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. Here she is shown drawing back her long locks to reveal the graceful lines of her neck. Beside her is classic greek pillar and a bowl or vessel brimming to overflowing. Aphrodite is known to incite feelings of love and lust wherever she goes. She is a contender in the story of the Golden Apples, when Paris chooses her as the fairest of the three goddesses (the others were Hera and Athena) and Aphrodite decides to "reward" him for giving her the Golden Apple (the prototype of most modern awards) by giving him the love of Helen of Troy, something of a mixed blessing that led to the Trojan War. This is a cold-cast resin statue measuring 11 1/4" tall, with a white finish.

He was also a god of light known as "Phoebus" (radiant or beaming, and he was sometimes identified with Helios the sun god).

Ares

ITEM NO:AG-SA137
NAME: Ares (Mars)
PRICE: $46.95

The Greek god of war and battle and the instigator of violence, a son of Zeus and Hera. Because of his cruel and war-like nature he was despised by all the gods, even his own father disliked him.

Ares was of giant stature and had a loud voice, and surpassed the other gods in speed. On the battlefield Ares was accompanied by Phobos ("Fear") and Deimos ("Terror"), two lesser divinities who are sometimes given as his sons. He was furthermore attended by the goddesses Eris ("Strife") and Enyo ("Horror"). Ares is also the father of the Harmonia, the goddess of harmony, and of the Amazons Penthesilea and Hippolyte.

Dionysus

ITEM NO:AG-SD911
NAME: Dionysus (Bacchus)
PRICE: $52.95

Dionysus, also commonly known by his Roman name Bacchus, appears to be a god who has two distinct origins. On the one hand, Dionysus was the god of wine, agriculture, and fertility of nature, who is also the patron god of the Greek stage. On the other hand, Dionysus also represents the outstanding features of mystery religions, such as those practiced at Eleusis: ecstacy, personal delivery from the daily world through physical or spiritual intoxication, and initiation into secret rites. Scholars have long suspected that the god known as Dionysus is in fact a fusion of a local Greek nature god, and another more potent god imported rather late in Greek pre-history from Phrygia (the central area of modern day Turkey) or Thrace. Classic depiction of Dionysus. With goldleaf painted accents and fine details thru-out this cold cast resin statue. Approx 11" tall.

According to some sources, however, her children were conceived without the help of a man, either by slapping her hand on the ground or by eating lettuce: thus they were born, not out of love but out of lust and hatred.
