Εἲς Ἀφροδίτην
κυπρογενῆ Κυθέρειαν ἀείσομαι, ἥτε βροτοῖσι
μείλιχα δῶρα δίδωσιν, ἐφ᾽ ἱμερτῷ δὲ προσώπῳ
αἰεὶ μειδιάει καὶ ἐφ᾽ ἱμερτὸν θέει ἄνθος.
χαῖρε, θεά, Σαλαμῖνος ἐυκτιμένης μεδέουσα
εἰναλίης τε Κύπρου: δὸς δ᾽ ἱμερόεσσαν ἀοιδήν.
αὐτὰρ ἐγὼ καὶ σεῖο καὶ ἄλλης μνήσομ᾽ ἀοιδῆς.
To Aphrodite
I sing of the Cyprus born Cytherean, giver
Of luscious gifts to mortals. Her sweet face
Smiles at them always. On her cheeks sex blossoms.
Joy to you, ruler of sturdy Salamis
And Cyprus in the sea. Make my song charming.
First I will sing your hymn, and then another
Homeric Hymns; Translation: Sarah Ruden
Candles
Pov: you pray to the Goddess of Love and your bf brings you a bouquet of roses 5 mins later 🖤
I love giving her the little love notes he writes me 💕
I love them both sm aaa
