Gortyna, Crete
The city of Gortyna enjoyed prosperity throughout ancient times. However, following the Byzantine period in which it adopted Christianity, the city began to lose prosperity. The Arab conquest of Crete put a final end to the once great city of Gortyna, which was destroyed in 824 C.E.
This marble statue of Aphrodite was found in the ancient residence of the governor of Crete, in a rectangular open-air structure with conches on all sides, where statues of Nymphs were placed.

"Άκου Κύριε τον καλό σου φίλο που αγαπά τους καρπούς και τους τάφους. Εσύ είσαι ό,τι με συνδέει μ' έναν καρπό και μ' έναν τάφο. Και τον καρπό ασχημίζω και τον τάφο. Αλλ' όμως είμαι θέλημά σου γέννημα στην απέραντη καρδιά σου... ... Αυτή 'ναι η αξία εμάς των σκουληκιών που δεν έχουμε παρά μονάχα ένα δρόμο... Το χώμα ειν' η μοίρα μου αντίκρυ των άστρων. Αγάπη όνειρο θαλασσί τύλιξέ με. Ποια ευφροσύνη δεν σου παραστέκει; Αγάπη, πράξη και ουσία του θεού μου σερνάμενο κι αν είμαι πλέω στη χαρά."
