Although I have never fully understood why; this is my favourite picture of the Kytherian goddess Aphrodite. It depicts the moment of her birth, after the genitals of Ouranos have fallen into the sea. See the "Birth of Cytherea" entry, by Alexandra Ermolaeff, in this section, for a more detailed explanation of the myth. Alexandre Cabanel was born in Mont Pellier, France, in 1823. He studied painting under ...

In Western culture Kythera is connected to a literary archive of idealised representations of the feminine, exotic, beautiful and desirable. This connection finds its origin in ancient Greek mythology, where Kythera is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of desire and beauty. Subsequently, Kythera via Aphrodite has provided a rich source for artists as diverse as the poet Charles Baudelaire and painter Jean-Antoine Wattaeu. One of the earliest literary accounts of Kythera is found ...

Local people believe that in 1820 the clergy of this monastery decided to build a new church - the present Agios Kosmas - to replace a much older church which had been destroyed and the remains of which are still visible. One of the monks embarked on an overseas fundraising trip which took him to Constantinople. There he met with many Kytherians and other Christians. ...
