The unusual presence of Aphrodite on the exhibits of the Acropolis Museum will unfold her multifaceted nature on the Sacred Rock. Aphrodite of the Gardens, of the Heavens, and Pandemos – of all the people – along with Eros and Peitho, Persuasion, plays a leading role in a discussion with the Archaeologist-Hosts on her place in ancient worship on the Acropolis and in the works of art that express it, and on her relationship with other “Aphrodites” of ancient Athens.
