“It is telling that mythology split Aphrodite’s warrior aspect, projecting it outward into her relationship with Ares, the god of war. Yet, if we look deeper, we see that this story is actually about Aphrodite’s own duality. She was once Inanna, a goddess who descended into the underworld to reclaim herself. There, she faced Ereshkigal, her darker aspect. This journey was not a battle of destruction but one of integration. This is the war Aphrodite fights, the battle of self-remembrance. It is a war of transformation, of releasing what is no longer needed so that new growth can emerge. The Good War is not about struggle for the sake of struggle; it is about stepping into conscious evolution.”

“This linguistic shift reflects how patriarchal recontextualization reduced Aphrodite’s archetype, stripping away the complexity of her role and leaving behind a narrow, sensual interpretation of desire. In reality, her essence encompassed a much broader spectrum of love, harmony, and creative life force.”

“Archaeological evidence suggests that the worship of a powerful mother goddess in Cyprus dates back to at least 3800 BCE, long before the Hellenistic era. Sites such as Kouklia-Vathyrkakas, Lemba, and Kissonerga reveal a deep-rooted reverence for a fertility goddess intricately connected to nature. This challenges the Greek mythological narrative that Aphrodite was born from the severed genitals of Uranus, a story that frames her existence as a consequence of male conflict. In truth, she was never created through an act of violence; rather, she had always been present, fully actualized as a divine force of creation and life.”
