Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, is one of the most famous Greek goddesses, but her Greek temples are relatively small. The Temple of Aphrodite Muses is located to the northwest of the ancient Agora of Athens and to the northeast of the Temple of Apollo Epicurios. It is believed that in the temple of Aphrodite there was once a marble statue of her by the sculptor Phidias. The temple still stands today. Over the years, remnants of important sites have been discovered, such as animal bones and bronze mirrors. Many travelers visit the temple of Aphrodite when they visit Apollo.
The Greek goddess Aphrodite rises from the foam of the ocean waves, bewitching anyone who sees her, inspiring feelings of love and lust wherever she goes.
