aphrodite and her spring






i placed my wreath around aphrodite's head.... you can see the spring water bubbling up in the pool in front of her.... this section of the temple complex is called the temple of isis, but this particular statue is aphrodite: they must have been room-mates or something... the gods and goddesses all lived near one another in dion, which was a huge flourishing town in the ancient days.. the entire town of dion was buried under mud which these springs carry to the surface. it was utterly forgotten for centuries....
