With the goddess Aphrodite on it. Aphrodite is an Ancient Greek goddess associated with love, lust, beauty, pleasure, passion and procreation. Aphrodites major symbols include myrtles, roses, doves, sparrows, and swans. In Hesiods Theogony, Aphrodite is born off the coast of Cythera from the foam produced by Uranuss genitals, which his son Cronus had severed and thrown into the sea. Thanks to the myth of her emergence from the sea, Aphrodite was worshiped as the protector of sailors. Her main festival was the Aphrodisia, which was celebrated annually in midsummer across Greece. The planet Venus is named after her. Sacred beings of the goddess were myrtle, pigeons, sparrows, horses and swans.
