In a week it's Valentine's Day and on this occasion, we want to tell you a story about our "timeless" icon of love, Aphrodite.
Born on the mythical island of Cyprus, Aphrodite symbolizes love, passion and sensuality. Her magnetic aura captivated minds and marked souls. One of her most famous legends tells of her tumultuous love with Adonis. Adonis, a dazzling beauty, attracted the attention of the goddess who fell madly in love with him. She hid him from the gaze of the other gods in a chest that she entrusted to Persephone, queen of the Underworld. But when the latter discovered the young man, she too was bewitched and refused to give him back. Zeus then had to intervene and ordered that Adonis divide his time between the two goddesses: part of the year with Persephone in the underworld and the other with Aphrodite on earth. Their love was ardent and passionate, but tragic. One day, during a hunting party, Adonis was mortally wounded by a wild boar sent by a jealous god, perhaps Ares, Aphrodite's former lover. The goddess, rushing to his bedside, could not prevent his fatal fate. From his blood was born the anemone, a delicate and ephemeral flower, symbol of the passion and fragility of love. Thus, the memory of Adonis lived on through nature, as an eternal tribute to their fiery affair.
