In the Iliad she is presented as the daughter of Jupiter and Dione and in later traditions as the daughter of Euonyme and Cronos, but the legend of Venus sprung from the froth of the sea is the most known. She arose from the sea near the island of Cyprus, or, according to Hesiod, of Cythera, whither she was wafted by the zephyrs, and received on the seashore by the seasons, daughters of Jupiter and Themis. She surpassed all the goddesses in beauty, and likewise had the power of granting beauty and invincible charm to others. She was the owner of a celebrated girdle which when worn even by the most deformed excited love and rekindled extinguished flames..." Emily Stedman closed her book.
