A famous painting by Sandro Botticelli depicts the birth of the goddess Venus, not Athena, Aphrodite, or Demeter. While Athena is associated with wisdom, warfare, and crafts in Greek mythology, Botticelli’s painting specifically portrays the birth of Venus, known as the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility in Roman mythology (equivalent to the Greek goddess Aphrodite). Demeter, on the other hand, is the Greek goddess of agriculture and the harvest, distinct from the subject of Botticelli’s renowned artwork, “The Birth of Venus,” which captures the emergence of Venus from the sea foam.
