Wearing Aphrodite

"The perishable soul trap" warned Bishop Eusebios of the goddess of love, which is leading to unchristian practices. For the sake of Doidalses, her and the Bithynic King Nikomedes I invent this variant: turned the head to the side, she crouches to be poured with bathing water after a loved night. The triangle composition is also a refined embodiment of its holy initial, the Phoenician-Greek A of the Astarte Aphrodite.
Original: Vatican Museum Rome. Hellenistic, 3rd century BC Chr.; Roman copy after Doidalses, marble.
