Vote in a comment and let me know which of the 5 goddesses I have painting so far (from my Olympus Goddesses serie), is your favorite?
1.APHRODITE Legend has it that Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty, enchanted everyone she met. She was known primarily as a goddess of love and fertility and occasionally presided over marriage, identified with Venus by the Romans.
2. TYKHE (Tyche) was the Greek goddess of chance, fate and fortune (to the Romans, Fortuna). The ancient Greeks thought she was the reason for unexpected events in their lives. Tyche was usually pictured with wings, a regal staff, a crown and a horn of plenty. In later times, she appeared wearing a blindfold.
3. PSYKHE (Psyche) was the goddess of the soul and the wife of Eros (Roman Cupid) god of love. The myth of Psyche and Eros is probably one of the most beautiful Greek myths. Psykhe was depicted in ancient mosaic art as a butterfly-winged woman in the company of her husband Eros.
4. Persephone, was the goddess of harvest and fertility. She was also called Kore, which means "maiden" and grew up to be a lovely girl attracting the attention of many gods. However, Demeter had an obsessed love for her only daughter and kept all men away from her.
5. KHLORIS (Chloris) was the goddess of flowers and spring. She was a nymph that lived in the Elysian Fields. She was abducted by the god of the west wind, Zephyrus, whom she later married. She also transformed a number of mythological figures into flowers, including Adonis, Attis, Crocus, Hyacinthus and Narcissus. Her Roman name was Flora.
