“She came to sea-girt Kypros, and came forth an awful and lovely goddess. Gods and men call her Aphrodite, (the foam-born) because she grew amid the foam. And with her went Eros (Love), and comely Himeros (Desire). This honour she had from the beginning, and this is the portion allotted to her — the whisperings of maidens and smiles and deceits with sweet delight and love and graciousness.”
–Hesiod, Theogony
