Aphrodite and her son Eros, Goddess and God of Love.
Muse, tell me the deeds of golden Aphrodite the Cyprian, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods and subdues the tribes of mortal men and birds that fly in air and all the many creatures that the dry land rears, and all that the sea: all these love the deeds of rich-crowned Cytherea.

Stunning!
Not sure I’ve ever thought of Aphrodite looking quite so serene! And Eros definitely not…
Check this out for some stuff on Eros from the Greek and Roman worlds – including that he was “the most powerful and most elusive of the ancient gods.”
Nice pic, though.
Brilliant work, Ivy. Just beautiful.
Love your work!
