Based on her epithets:
Ourania—of the heavens, born from Ouranos’balls
Pandemos—of the people, born of Zeus and Dione
Areia—the warlike, minor war deity

Homeric hymn 6 to Aphrodite—translation by Hugh G. Evelyn White 1914
will sing of stately Aphrodite, gold-crowned and beautiful, whose dominion is the walled cities of all sea-set Cyprus. There the moist breath of the western wind wafted her over the waves of the loud-moaning sea in soft foam, and there the gold-filleted Hours welcomed her joyously. They clothed her with heavenly garments: on her head they put a fine, well-wrought crown of gold, and in her pierced ears they hung ornaments of orichalc and precious gold, and adorned her with golden necklaces over her soft neck and snow-white breasts, jewels which the gold-filleted Hours wear themselves whenever they go to their father's house to join the lovely dances of the gods. And when they had fully decked her, they brought her to the gods, who welcomed her when they saw her, giving her their hands. Each one of them prayed that he might lead her home to be his wedded wife, so greatly were they amazed at the beauty of violet-crowned Cytherea.
[19] Hail, sweetly-winning, coy-eyed goddess! Grant that I may gain the victory in this contest, and order you my song. And now I will remember you and another song also.
Decided to give her a crown, necklace, and earrings because of this
The golden ass is technically Roman but ermm syncretism interpretatio whatever so yaa
Hi everyone I’m loooking into Achilles. Does anyone know any resources on his hero cult or his title of Achilles Pontarches? Thanks
I started worshipping Apollo when I was 12 years old and now I’m 16. These art pieces aren’t perfectly in order but in the rough timeline of when they were made. The time between these pieces does vary a lot but I like how when I line up all my art of Apollo, you can see my progress and evolution. I’m really grateful to Apollo and I thank him immensely for his blessings and guidance. The first piece here was made when I just started Hellenism haha
Idk what I was doing here I hate lettering
