When mentioning Venus, one cannot help but think of that sacred and divine love. However, the secret behind Goddess Venus is unknown to 99% of people, many of whom mistakenly believe that Venus was born in Greece. In fact, Venus was born on a picturesque island, like a pearl dropped by God onto the sea surface, and this beautiful island is Cyprus. The waters near Paphos in southwestern Cyprus are where the goddess of love, Venus, was born. Enchanting mythological stories are always captivating, and today, Worldway will explore the birthplace of Venus with everyone.

From a distance, two massive white rocks stand side by side near the coast, known as the Rock of Aphrodite. According to legend, Gaia, the goddess who governed all things on Earth, and Uranus, the god of the heavens, gave birth to a group of giants. However, due to personality conflicts, the couple turned against each other. Gaia ordered her youngest son, Cronus, to injure his father with a sickle. After Uranus's flesh was severed and fell into the sea, it stirred up foam, and thus, Venus was born. The goddess of love, Aphrodite (i.e., Venus), emerged from this sea, gracefully rising from the foam, carried by a scallop, with dolphins bringing her to the shores of Paphos, while roses containing golden pollen rained down from the sky, said to have fallen to the earth at the time of Venus's birth. In Greek, "Aphrodite" means "born from the foam," and the true essence of the goddess's soul is tenderness, beauty, and love.

In Cyprus, there is a saying that drinking from the Fountain of the Goddess of Love will lead one to fall in love. Legend has it that once, Venus accidentally got injured and soaked her body in the water here, resulting in her wound healing quickly. Recent studies show that the seawater at the "Bath of Aphrodite" is rich in minerals such as sulfur, which helps wounds heal and is beneficial for fitness and body shaping. Locals also say that if one circles the Rock of Aphrodite three times, they will achieve the effect of looking ten years younger. If you see women circling the rock, please do not laugh; they are actually hoping for the goddess to grant them beauty that makes them look ten years younger.
Not far from the "Bath of Aphrodite" is a clear spring. It is said that after bathing, Venus often came here to drink water, and this spring is referred to as the "Fountain of the Goddess of Love". An Italian poet even gave the "Fountain of the Goddess of Love" a more poetic name—"Fountain of Fragrance". The water here is not only sweet and clear but is also famous for symbolizing everlasting love. It is said that married couples who drink from the "Fountain of Fragrance" will have their love "elevated", deepening their affection and ensuring they grow old together. Couples whose relationships have broken down will find reconciliation after drinking from the "Fountain of Fragrance", while single men and women will fall in love and marry...

Moreover, since Venus also governs fertility, during the "Festival of the Goddess of Love", many women come to pray to Venus for children. Many young women apply oil and almond water to a conical red stone and then quietly place it on the ruins of the Temple of Venus at night, hoping for happiness to come. Some women even offer rings, necklaces, and earrings as gifts, hoping for blessings from the goddess. Couples without children pray to the goddess of love, and their wishes may come true. It is this belief that attracts childless couples from around the world to come here, silently praying in front of the rock, hoping to have a child of their own.
