Venus and Aeneas. Like mother, like son.
#aphrodite#or Venus here#has hair the color of wine as a nod to the wine dark sea#from where she was born#and then gold underneath for her golden Aphrodite epithet#smiling because she loves smiles…#Myrtle and roses and doves also used to represent her#and pearls#and for Aeneas I tried to make him look like her and Anchises#or how I imagine them in my head lol#plus the olive laurel wreath cause he’s always wearing that in the Aeneid#peas n guac#id in alt text#aeneas#venus#the aeneid#artists on tumblr
