30 Days of Aphrodite: Day 5 - April 5, 2021 2:00 PM / Jessie Serica
Which of her epithets are you drawn to?
My favorite of all her epithets is Aphrodite Pandemos which means Aphrodite Of All People. I’ve always spoken about how Aphrodite is a goddess who welcomes and embraces all potential worshipers regardless of sexuality, gender, preferences, aesthetics, hobbies, and style. The Pandemos epithet is representative of that belief and I personally think it is ultimately the core of who Aphrodite is. A Goddess for us all.
Here are some other epithets of hers I quite enjoy!
Aphrodite Kallipygos (Of the Beautiful Buttocks)
Aphrodite Areia (Warlike)
Nikêphoros (Bringer of Victory)
Ourania (Heavenly)
Epitumbidia (She Upon the Graves)
Tumborukhos (Gravedigger)
Androphonos (Killer of Men)
Eleemon (Merciful)
Enoplios (Bearing Weapons)
Dia (Divine; Shining)
Philommeidês (Laughter-Loving)
Kataskopia (Spying; Peeping)
Hôplismenê (Armed)
Summakhia (Ally in War)
Melainis (Black)
Skotia (Dark)
Do you see how multifaceted this goddess truly is?? It’s rare to find a realm that has not felt the divine influence of Aphrodite.
