About the name Venus:
The word Venus is the Latin name for Aphrodite, the goddess of love, marriage and family life.
According to Hesiod, Aphrodite was created from a circle of white foam in the sea. Her name
literally means foam-born. She was attended by Eros and Himeros when she was first born and
stepped ashore on Cyprus, making Cyprus Aphrodite's birthplace. She was also known as a sea
goddess of sailors.
