Worship
Aphrodite was worshipped in a special way. Kypris or Cytherea was Aphrodite's birth place, so the island Cytherea became the center where people worship Aphrodite. There was a festival only for Aphrodite in Cytherea. The celebration was conducted in the entire Greek but especially in Athens and Corinth. Ahrodite was always associated with and depicted with dolphins, doves, swans, pomegranates and lime trees. People alway use them in pictures, arts, storys, myths and sculptures. Aphrodite's temple is the place to ad mre sex.
