Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. These images are from a commercial that is advertising POM, which is a pomegranate fruit juice. The narrator in the commercial talks about how Aphrodite is the goddess of "beauty and desire". One of the symbols associated with Aphrodite is the pomegranate.



The motto for the Venus Razor for Women is "Reveal the goddess in you". This is a direct reference to Greek mythology. Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. Her Roman name is "Venus". Clearly, this company is selling the idea that true "beauty" comes with using their product.

** Literary Connection **
"Penelope" By Dorothy Parker

In the pathway of the sun, In the footsteps of the breeze, Where the world and sky are one, He shall ride the silver seas, He shall cut the glittering wave.

 * Response:** This poem seems to be Penelope as she waits for Odysseus to return from the war. She sits and home and "rocks". She seems bitter when she says "they will call HIM brave". She seems to think that Odysseus will be the only one recognized for facing and overcoming challenges. //( Continue Response Here.... )//
