Venus (Latin: V) ĕ Venus, English: Venus), is the goddess of beauty in Roman mythology and one of the twelve main gods of Rome. It corresponds to Aphrodite in Greek mythology.
At first she may have been an orchard elf. Her alias is multhea, which may mean "mountain peach" in Latin. Later, Venus became the goddess of beauty and love because it was corresponding to Aphrodite in Greek mythology. Cupid, the little god of love, was her son. Latin words such as "Venus" and "Friday" come from this. Venus also appeared in many literary works and Western oil paintings. The most influential work of art is the Venus statue found in a cave on the Aegean island of Milos in 1820.

At first, Venus was the native goddess of Italy. Her name may be synonymous with green vegetables. At first, she was a kind of fairy in the orchard, which made the orchard harvest. Orchard workers have a holiday to celebrate the veneria Festival. Her Roman nickname, multhea, may have originated from the Latin hickory or guava tree, representing her identity as the goddess of the orchard. At the same time, she was also the personification of "God's grace" at first.
Because of the spread of the later Aeneas myth in Rome, Venus was corresponding to the Greek goddess Aphrodite by the Romans, so Venus became the goddess of beauty and love in the later stage. At the same time, Pompeii built the temple of Venus victrix, and Venus was also corresponding to the goddess of victory. At the same time, the goddesses Isis and Astarte of Egypt and the Near East were also corresponding to Venus.
Venus has nicknames such as "compassionate", "clean up evil", "immediate" and "lost hair", which represents that Roman women cut their hair to make ropes for military use when fighting Gaul.
Because of the influence of Aphrodite in the later stage, Rome also created some new legends for Venus.
Her legend has repeatedly appeared in the works of writers of all dynasties, among which the most touching is a long poem written by Shakespeare for her. The poem describes Venus' love story.
It is said that Adonis, a beautiful man in ancient Greece, is nine feet tall (more than 190cm). He is as beautiful as a flower. His exquisite facial features make everyone and everything in the world pale in front of him; But he has no interest in love. He only likes to gallop among the mountains and woods and hunt. He is a plant God who comes back from death every year, always young and never old. He has a deep connection with the calendar. He is a god worshipped by women. It can be seen from the fragments of Shafu's poetry around 600 BC that the girls around Shafu worshipped Adonis who was dying at that time. His incarnation is autumn peony. It is also said that its incarnation is anemone. In ancient Greek mythology, the rose is condensed with the face of Adonis, the God of beauty and plants, and filled with the blood of Venus, the God of love and beauty. Adonis is also the earliest source of "fancy men" in western countries. The stories of Venus and Adonis also reflect the good wishes of ordinary people for handsome men and beautiful women.
One day, Venus met Adonis, who was nine feet tall, and fell in love with him at first sight. He greeted him and hoped to talk to him for a while; But Adonis refused to approach the opposite sex and refused Venus's kindness at once. Venus had only the power to control his actions and confided in him the wonder of love, but Adonis remained unmoved and showed an eagerness to get rid of her. Venus exhausted all her sweet words and was willing to give many conditions. Adonis finally looked at the God of love with contemptuous eyes, which greatly stimulated her and fainted to the ground.
Adonis felt a little guilty and wanted her forgiveness, so he waited patiently for Venus to wake up. After Venus woke up, he continued to try his best to persuade Adonis, but he was still rejected. The God of love suddenly had a hunch that Adonis would encounter an accident and advised him not to take risks to hunt and let her be by his side to protect his safety; But Adonis didn't believe it. As a result, he was really bitten to death by a porcupine when hunting the next morning. When Venus arrived, she saw that Elaine was dead and couldn't help mourning.
