I feel like people don’t take priest*hood seriously, especially online, and it’s genuinely so frustrating. I’ll probably do a bigger post about it later but… ugh. I just feel like many many people come into it with a tiktok education and it’s just like icky.
The people of Athens also associated the goddess Peithō with Aphrodite, chiefly with respect to Aphrodite’s civic function as exemplified in her epithet Pandēmos, which means the goddess who “belongs to all the people”. As an epithet or cult title, Pandēmos seems to have no Near Eastern parallel and instead appears distinctively related to the Athenian polis. Pausanias, the Greek travel writer, notes that Aphrodite and Peithō shared a cult site of great antiquity and importance on the southwest slope of the Athenian Acropolis, where extant archaeological remains seem to confirm his observations. In cult, art and literature, the alliance of these two goddesses, Aphrodite Pandēmos and Peithō, symbolizes the concepts of unification and harmony in all of their public and private expressions. While Athenian statesmen might seek the joint endorsement of Aphrodite Pandēmos and Peithō to help unite opposing factions into political concord, yearning lovers or prospective brides would also look to these two beneficial and diligent goddesses to initiate erotic fusions and then shower their conjugal unions with blessings. Peithō is often understood as an epithet of Aphrodite herself, and sometimes the name is used to describe this specific aspect of Aphrodite’s divine power to persuade, merge and unify.

Aphrodite and goats, my two favorite things!
Aphrodite Pandemos was often depicted riding a goat/ram on land :)

Some more of Pandemos messing with Sao. Pandemos found a exploit she could use in Sao's nanites, causing a certain feedback loop, which then enabled Pandemos to get Sao to become a goddess much like herself.... which... honestly isn't that big of an jump for Sao. But Pandemos still feels it's best to inform Sao which of the many Pandemos's in the multiverse would be okay to learn from or not. Honestly one of my favorite parts of this scenario that didn't get illustrated, was Pandemos tricking the existing "make the plants around sao grow" aspect of Sao's nanites. "You make plants grow... Well, me giving you this idea is me planting a seed. Now make that seed grow." Sao belongs to me Pandemos belongs to Tangent128

🐚 30 Days of Aphrodite - VI 🐚
List your favorite epithets and why
Ourania - Heavenly, divine. I think this one just fits her the best! And is definitely the one I relate to her most, She is a heavenly and divine force 🦢
Antheia - Blooming, Friend of flowers. I love the springtime and springtime goddess’ so I enjoy that Aphrodite is linked to this energy. I imagine her getting along with Spring and Flower nymphs and goddess’, flowers are also an important part of my craft just like Aphrodite.
Another favourite is Pandemos - common to all people. I like this because I think it highlights a really important aspect of Aphrodite, how She is a goddess for ALL people, regardless of sexuality, gender or anything otherwise. How she loves us all, has a place for us all and wants us all to take care of ourselves 💖
I really enjoy Philommeides - Laughter-loving. It reminds me of her as I often hear her giggling and relate laughter to Her 💖
And finally Anadyomene - Risen from the sea. I think it represents Aphorodites connection to the sea and her birth from it. I can imagine Her rising from the sea 🌊 I also find this relevant as it relates to the sea - which is prominent in my personal craft.
& Aphrogeneia - Foam Born. I love her foam born creation myth, I think it fits Aphrodite so perfectly and again links Her to the magic of the sea 🐚
Aphrodite Pandemos (“of the people”) 💖🕊✨ occurs as a surname of Aphrodite, and that in a twofold sense, first describing her as the goddess of low sensual pleasures in opposition to Aphrodite Urania, or the heavenly Aphrodite. The second sense is that of Aphrodite uniting all the inhabitants of a country into one social or political body.
