Aphrodite (Roman equivalent Venus) was the Goddess of leurve, beauty, pleasure and
general hanky-panky, if you are ever asked this question on Mastermind. I know because I've just googled her (metaphorically speaking, of course)
She is also the subject of the Autumn 2012 Odes to the Olympians Poetry Contest, a free to enter competition (I'll repeat that - a free to enter competition) designed to improve our knowledge of the immortals of Greek mythology, now living in much reduced circumstances in a tenement building in downtown Athens.
Closing date is November 30th, maximum 30 lines. The hugely talented David Mohan has won this competition before but don't let thast put you off because I won it one time too. And if I can win it, so can anyone.
thanks, always lovely to see a free one!
