Description Aphrodisias Museum Anchises and Aphrodite 4649.jpg |
English:
Anchises and Aphrodite. From the Wikipedia: In Greek mythology, Anchises (Ancient Greek: Ἀγχίσης) was the son of Capys and Themiste (daughter of Ilus, son of Tros). His major claim to fame in Greek mythology is that he was a mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite (and in Roman mythology, the lover of Venus). One version is that Aphrodite pretended to be a Phrygian princess and seduced him for nearly two weeks of lovemaking. Anchises learned that his lover was a goddess only nine months later, when she revealed herself and presented him with the infant Aeneas. The principal early narrative of Aphrodite's seduction of Anchises and the birth of Aeneas is the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite. According to Apollodorus' Bibliotheca, Anchises and Aphrodite had another son, Lyrus, who died childless.
One of the reliefs that stem from the Sebasteion, good replicas can be found on site. Notices in the museum indicate what they represent, such as members of the imperial family and mythological figures. First century AD.
