Aphrodite [af-ruh-dahy-tee] ♥

Born of foam, risen from sea, a woman of beauty and arrogancy

Betrothed to a man without looks nor taste, a sin it does seem she was sent without haste

He adorned her with jewels or whatever she pleased, though she was unfaithful every chance she could seize

T’is a tangled web I weave, some say I’m foolish some say naïve

For many men are in my trance, I have them all within my grasp

There is but one I favoured above them all, with daring eyes which did enthral

Death and love were now entwined, fighting till one fell or died

Hatred did so thrash and claw, till settled by the highest law

Desire divided half in half equal after such a wrath

A jealously of another type, the boar killed the boy out of Ares tripe

Once loved by the woman of the sea, his blood she turned to anemones.
