so that's two heroines Felicity Niven's heroes have likened to the Callipygian Venus.

«Venus Kallipygos de las hermosas nalgas»

Esculpida entre los s II-I a.C.

Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Nápoles

La Venus Callipyge, también conocida como Afrodita Kallipygos (en griego: Ἀφροδίτη Καλλίπυγος) o la Venus Callipygian, que literalmente significa "Venus (o Afrodita) de las hermosas nalgas", es una antigua estatua de mármol romana, que se cree que es una copia de una original griego antiguo. En un ejemplo de anasyrma, gesto de levantar la falda o el kilt.

Representa a una mujer levantando sus peplos descubriendo así sus caderas y nalgas, y mirando hacia atrás y hacia abajo por encima del hombro, quizás para evaluarlos.

Se cree que es Venus (Afrodita), aunque también puede ser un retrato de una mujer mortal.

El acto de levantarse la falda se ha utilizado en la guerra para evocar el miedo al enemigo. También puede ser un acto que evoca sorpresa y posterior risa y abandono de la tristeza. En varias culturas, existe el mito del anasirma utilizado para la curación emocional.

Anasyrma puede ser una autoexposición deliberadamente provocativa de los genitales o las nalgas desnudas. En muchas tradiciones, este gesto supuestamente tiene el poder de evitar las malas influencias o la mala suerte y alejar a un enemigo sobrenatural.

every time you post i learn new things and this time you did not disappoint. love titties discourse

Giambologna’s Bathing Venus gets it right imo. The nipples are pointed and presumably hard,

While de Milo’s are still kinda soft and puffy

Also I’m just generally fonder of Bathing Venus because of how Wikipedia describes her:

The viewer can approach her without entering her line of sight and, when in front of her, there is a moment of reciprocal discovery.

Equal and opposite energy to Callipygian Venus, lit. “Venus with the beautiful buttocks” who is lifting her dress and admiring her own ass, and so inviting the viewer to also check out her nice ass.

Disclaimer: Most artists outside of antiquity used Aphrodite/Venus interchangeably for a myriad of cultural and religious reasons. I do understand that Venus and Aphrodite are syncretized deities with different aspects in Greek and Roman society respectively.

Could you imagine making a sculpture that had such a great ass they had to make a whole new word?

I present to you all the Venus Callipyge.

Aka the statue that is the origin of the word “callipygian,” meaning “having well-shaped buttocks.”
