The Myth of Aphrodite and Adonis 📝 Description: Aphrodite, the goddess of love, fell deeply for the mortal Adonis, whose beauty rivaled that of the gods. Despite warnings, Adonis met a tragic fate while hunting, leaving Aphrodite heartbroken. Their story is one of passion, jealousy, and loss—immortalized in Greek mythology as a tale of love that even the divine could not protect. #mythology #myth #anime #manga #legend #greekmythology #aphrodite #adonis #tragiclove #ancientstories | Zxa Vault
