The book explores her story with Hephaestus and Ares, showing that her so-called betrayal was a response to coercion and injustice, rather than a moral whim. Through mythological, historical, and gender-critical analyses, the work demonstrates how Aphrodite, even in the face of divine impositions, exercised autonomy, conscious love, and protection over her children and lovers, revealing a goddess of unmatched depth, strength, and sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003eMore than a study of mythology, the book offers a reflection on feminine power, freedom, and responsibility, questioning social norms that, since antiquity, have stigmatized women for their emotional and sexual choices. By drawing parallels between myths and historical patterns of gender inequality, the work presents Aphrodite as a symbol of female resistance, inviting readers to reevaluate classical narratives from a critical, contemporary, and liberating perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carmellini Duarte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798262253029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.11d","brand":"Carmellini Duarte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997105729791,"sku":"9798262253029","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-afrodite-to-venus-carmellini-duarte-9798262253029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
