Cyprus - Petra tou Romiou - The birth of Aphrodite
“The birth of Aphrodite from the foam of the sea of Cyprus”
It would be impossible for the Greeks not to create a goddess who would protect and personify natural beauty and physical perfection, two elements which the Greeks loved and worshipped so deeply. They created Aphrodite for this exact reason; she symbolizes eternal beauty and erotic feeling. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and of beauty, emerged from the soft foam of the sea. She made her appearance in Cyprus many millenniums ago, right next to the Rock of Romios (Petra tou Romiou), the huge rock that appears majestically on the shore of Cyprus.
