Aphrodite Pandemos Necklaces
These necklaces are 100% hand made and are created with sea pebbles I found at Aphrodite’s birthplace in Cyprus. These necklaces represent the Love and beauty of the Goddess Aphrodite.
Their primitive style shows the purity and the nature. They combine the Sea and the Earth. The cord and bronze wire were used for binding the stones and create these unique necklaces.
They are worldwide unique and no one can be the same.
Wearing one of these necklaces makes you feel unique and connected with the Love and beauty of the Goddess Aphrodite.
Aphrodite Pandemos (Greek: Πάνδημος; "common to all the people"), occurs as an epithet of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, and that in a twofold sense, first describing her as the goddess of low sensual pleasures as Venus vulgivaga or popularis, in opposition to Aphrodite Urania, or "the heavenly Aphrodite".[1] She was represented at Elis by Scopas riding on a ram.[2] The second sense is that of Aphrodite uniting all the inhabitants of a country into one social or political body. In this respect she was worshipped at Athens along with Peitho (persuasion), and her worship was said to have been instituted by Theseus at the time when he united the scattered townships into one great body of citizens.[3] According to some authorities, it was Solon who erected the sanctuary of Aphrodite Pandemos, either because her image stood in the agora, or because the hetaerae had to pay the costs of its erection.[4] The worship of Aphrodite Pandemos also occurs at Megalopolis in Arcadia,[5] and at Thebes.[6] A festival in honour of her is mentioned by Athenaeus.[7] The sacrifices offered to her consisted of white goats.[8] Pandemos occurs also as a surname of Eros.
