Ancient Greek goddess of beauty and sexual love Aphrodite was known by the Romans as Venus. The Greek term Aphros means Foam, and Hesiod claims in his Theogony that Aphrodite was created from the white foam that was produced when genitalia-cut of Uranus (Heaven) were thrown into the sea by his son Cronus. Aphrodite was in reality revered in many cultures as a goddess of the sea, sailors, and particularly of war in Sparta, Thebes, Cyprus, and other locations. Though she occasionally oversaw marriages, she was largely revered as a goddess of love and fertility. Aphrodite and Hephaestus, the deity of fire, smithing, and metalworking, were wed in Greek mythology. Aphrodite constantly betrayed him and had other lovers; in the Odyssey, she is seen having an affair with the god of war, Ares. She woos the mortal shepherd Anchises in the First Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite. Adonis, a shepherd who perished at the hands of a wild boar, also had Aphrodite as his substitute mother and lover. Aphrodite, who also appears prominently in the Iliad, was one of the three goddesses whose conflict led to the start of the Trojan War, along with Athena and Hera. As a representation of female beauty, Aphrodite has been used in Western art and literature on various occasions. In contemporary Neopagan cults like the Church of Aphrodite, Wicca, and Hellenismos, she is a central deity!

Aphrodite, ancient Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty, identified with Venus by the Romans. The Greek word aphros means --foam, and Hesiod relates in his Theogony that Aphrodite was born from the white foam produced by the severed genitals of Uranus (Heaven), after his son Cronus threw them into the sea. Aphrodite was, in fact, widely worshipped as a goddess of the sea and of seafaring; she was also honoured as a goddess of war, especially at Sparta, Thebes, Cyprus, and other places.

Madhubani Art (or Mithila painting) is a style of Indian painting, practiced in the Mithila region of India and Nepal. It was named after Madhubani District of Bihar, India which is where it is originated. This painting is done with various tools, such as fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks and using natural dyes and pigments. It is characterised by its eye-catching geometrical patterns. There is ritual content for particular occasions, such as birth or marriage, and festivals, such as Holi, Surya Shasti, Kali Puja, Upanayana, and Durga Puja. Madhubani painting (Mithila painting) was traditionally created by the women of various communities in the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent. It originated from Madhubani district of the Mithila region of Bihar. Madhubani is also a major export center of these paintings. This painting as a form of wall art was practiced widely throughout the region; the more recent development of painting on paper and canvas mainly originated among the villages around Madhubani, and it is these latter developments that led to the term -- Madhubani Art being used alongside -- Mithila Painting. The paintings were traditionally done on freshly plastered mud walls and floors of huts, but now they are also done on cloth, handmade paper and canvas. Madhubani paintings are made from the paste of powdered rice. Madhubani painting has remained confined to a compact geographical area and the skills have been passed on through centuries, the content and the style have largely remained the same. Thus, Madhubani painting has received GI (Geographical Indication) status. Madhubani paintings use two-dimensional imagery, and the colors used are derived from plants. Ochre, Lampblack and Red are used for reddish-brown and black, respectively. (Credit: Madhubani_art ) #Art#ArtWork
