I love that we have multiple images of Aphrodite just beating people with her sandal

No one can convince that Aphrodite is not a latina mother beating her son and nephew with ~la chancla~

Aphrodite paintings in C1st A.D. Pompeii

I’m in love with the way that the ancient Pompeiians drew Aphrodite. One noticeable thing is that in every painting she’s accompanied by her children (in 6/7 murals she’s with Eros and in the remaining one she’s with Aeneas)

Aphrodite was the patron goddess of Pompeii. Before the eruption of AD 79, there was even a temple in her honour being built in the Sanctuary of Venus. Although the temple was never finished, many frescoes depicting Aphrodite do survive

As her worshipper, I think that these artworks capture her SO well <3
