ڤينوس (أسطورة)

(تم التحويل من ڤينوس)

فينوس إحدى أهم الإلهات في الأساطير الرومانية. كانت أساسًا إلاهة الحب والجمال، ولكن أصبحت فيما بعد ترمز إلى القوة الخلاقة التي تمد بأسباب الحياة. وقد زعموا أن لها ابنًا هو كيوبيد المُسمَّى إله الحب عند الرومان، وتقابل فينوس، الإلهة أفروديت عند اليونان.

Venus Caelestis (Celestial or Heavenly Venus), used from the 2nd century AD for Venus as an aspect of a syncretised supreme goddess. Venus Caelestis is the earliest known Roman recipient of a taurobolium (a form of bull sacrifice), performed at her shrine in Pozzuoli on 5 October 134. This form of the goddess, and the taurobolium, are associated with the "Syrian Goddess", understood as a late equivalent to Astarte, or the Roman Magna Mater, another supposedly "Trojan Mother of the Romans"[3]

Venus Calva ("Venus the bald one"), a legendary form of Venus, attested only by post-Classical Roman writings which offer several traditions to explain this appearance and epithet. In one, it commemorates the virtuous offer by Roman matrons of their own hair to make bowstrings during a siege of Rome.

Venus Erycina ("Venus of Eryx"), captured from Sicily and worshiped in Romanised form by the elite, and respectable matrons, at a temple on the Capitoline Hill. A later temple, outside the Porta Collina and Rome's sacred boundary, may have preserved some Erycinian features of her cult. It was considered suitable for "common girls" and prostitutes.[4][5]

Venus Frutis honoured by all the Latins with a federal cult at the temple named Frutinal in Lavinium.[6]


Venus Kallipygos ("Venus with the beautiful buttocks"), worshiped at Syracuse.

Venus Libertina ("Venus the Freedwoman"), probably arising through the semantic similarity and cultural inks between libertina (as "a free woman") and lubentina (possibly meaning "pleasurable" or "passionate").

Crispina, wife of Commodus, with enthroned Venus Felix holding Victory on reverse

Venus Murcia ("Venus of the Myrtle"), merging Venus with the little-known deity Murcia (or Murcus, or Murtia).

Venus Obsequens ("Indulgent Venus"[7]), Venus' first attested Roman epithet.

Venus Physica: Venus as a universal, natural creative force that informs the physical world. She is addressed as "Alma Venus" ("Mother Venus") by Lucretius in the introductory lines of his vivid, poetic exposition of Epicurean physics and philosophy, De Rerum Natura. She seems to have been a favourite of Lucretius' patron, Memmius.[8]

تروي الأسطورة أن فينوس كانت أم إينياس أحد جدود مؤسسي روما الأسطوريين. عبدها أهالي روما لارتباطها بالتاريخ المبكر لمدينتهم وخصصوا لها بعضًا من معابد روما. كما اعتقدوا أن عائلة الحاكم يوليوس قيصر انحدرت من فينوس.

أدّت فينوس دورًا مهما في أسطورة تعرف باسم حكم باريس، حيث طالبت كل من فينوس والإلاهتين جونو ومينيرفا بتفاحة ذهبية كانت تمنح جائزة لأجمل الآلهه. وقد أمر الإله جوبيتر باريس وهو ابن بريام ملك طروادة، بتسوية هذا الأمر واختيار أجمل واحدة من الإلاهات الثلاث. منح باريس التفاحة لفينوس. وحرصت كل من جونو ومينيرفا على تدميرطروادة تدميرًا كاملاً أثناء حرب طروادة لكي ينتقمن من باريس.

أصبحت فينوس مادة دسمة للرسامين. رسمها كثير منهم وهي تعجب بنفسها في المرآة، كما رسم آخرون منظر حكم باريس أو أظهروا فينوس معمارس وأدونيس.

Roman and Hellenistic art produced many variations on the goddess, often based on the Praxitlean type Aphrodite of Cnidus. Many female nudes from this period of sculpture whose subjects are unknown are in modern art history conventionally called 'Venus'es, even if they originally may have portrayed a mortal woman rather than operated as a cult statue of the goddess.

الفن في التقليد الكلاسيكي

Venus became a popular subject of painting and sculpture during the Renaissance period in Europe. As a "classical" figure for whom nudity was her natural state, it was socially acceptable to depict her unclothed. As the goddess of sexuality, a degree of erotic beauty in her presentation was justified, which appealed to many artists and their patrons. Over time, venus came to refer to any artistic depiction in post-classical art of a nude woman, even when there was no indication that the subject was the goddess.

In the field of prehistoric art, since the discovery in 1908 of the so-called "Venus of Willendorf" small Neolithic sculptures of rounded female forms have been conventionally referred to as Venus figurines. Although the name of the actual deity is not known, the knowing contrast between the obese and fertile cult figures and the classical conception of Venus has raised resistance to the terminology.
