Quotes About Afroditi

Afroditi of the Flowers at Knossos Leave Kriti and come here to this holy temple with your graceful grove of apple trees and altars smoking with frankincense. Icy water babbles through apple branches and roses leave shadow on the ground and bright shaking leaves pour down profound sleep. Here is a meadow where horses graze amid wild blossoms of the spring and soft winds blow aroma of honey. Afroditi, take the nectar and delicately pour it into gold wine cups and mingle joy with our celebration.
~ Sappho
Gongyla surely a sign especially for children who came here I said, O master [...] by the blessed Afroditi [...] I swear I take no pleasure in being on the earth but a longing seizes me to die and see the dewy lotus banks of the Aheron
~ Sappho
