But the truth is older. Bloodier. Divine.
In the original myth, Hesiod’s Theogony, the oldest written record of Greek mythology, Aphrodite is born not from love, but from vengeance. When Cronus severs the sky god Uranus, his blood spills into the sea. From that foam, she rises fully formed, not as a child, but as a force. Beautiful, yes, but also ancient, untamed, and terrifying in her power.
This ballad tells her true story, the Aphrodite who came before Zeus, before Olympus, before order.
A goddess not of flirtation, but of creation through destruction.
Not everyone will know this version.
That’s why it needs to be sung.
