Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹
Somewhere in the world it's still Friday!
"Out of the sea was rising lovely-crowned Kypris, foam-blossoms still upon her hair; and round her hovered smiling witchingly Himeros (Desire)."
Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 5.72
🏛 Attic red-figure pelike, ca 370 - 360 BCE, Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki

Aphrodite is born from a cockle shell--symbolising the castrated members of Uranus--at sea. Eros or Himeros flutters by her side. To her left stands Hermes holding a herald's wand (kerykeion) with his arm resting on a plinth. To her right Poseidon is seated with a trident and fish.

@… No, in Naxos. I’ve never been to Thessaloniki, though I’d love to!
