Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the boundary between sacred and profane love in the ancient world, focusing on the centrality of beauty and the worship of Venus. The author examines the shift that occurred in the character of Venus as she transformed from a wild and nature goddess into a refined and Apollonian ideal of beauty, with an emphasis on her role as the patron goddess of love. The book also discusses the emergence of the Graces as goddesses who embody the ideal of physical perfection and the power of love to inspire and elevate the soul, as well as the development of the concept of feminine beauty as an expression of inner virtue and spiritual harmony. Ultimately, the author argues that the pursuit of beauty and love was seen as a path to the divine, and that the worship of Venus and the Graces provided a framework for understanding the power and significance of love in all its forms.
