Aphrodite the Greek goddess of love and fertility, known to the Romans as Venus, was, according to one of the earliest Greek poets, born of the sea from the foam produced by the genitals of the castrated Uranus when they were cast upon the waters.
The birth of Aphrodite, who rose from the waves, was one of the more popular themes of Classical artists.
