Aphrodite and Adonis
Aphrodite (Venus) is supposed to have been hit by one of the arrows of her son Eros (Cupid). For this reason she fell in love with Adonis. During one of the goddess’s travel in her winged car pulled by swans, she heard the screams of pain of her beloved one mortally wounded by a wild boar.
Afrodite (Vénus) ter-se-á ferido numa das setas de seu filho Eros (Cupido). Por essa razão apaixonou-se por Adónis. Durante uma deslocação da deusa no seu carro alado puxado por cisnes apercebeu-se dos gritos de dor do seu amado mortalmente ferido por javali.
