About this book

The Venus of Milo, the statue found on the Greek island of Melos, is examined in this archeological study by Paul Carus, a German-born American philosopher and editor, from 1916. The first chapters cover the discovery, the reports of Dumont d'Urville and Viscount Marcellus, a drawing by Debay, a description of the statue and the attempts to restore it. The rest widens to the meaning of Aphrodite and her cult, mother-goddesses of other nations, the origin of woman, Aphrodite in art and classical hymns. Illustrations range from Titian to Astarte, Isis and Kwan-Yin.
