This is the best artistic rendition of Mother Hera I've ever come across. She's so beautiful I can barely move my eyes. So gentle and loving. Btw this is not my creation. The creator has their name in the corner and they're in devianart so all credits to them and a load of gratitude cuz this is very very accurate to how I see my Mother in my mind. I found this pic on Pinterest so yep. BUT MOTHER DO I LOVE YOU?!!!!! I could cry just by looking at this.
Greek gold bee, Ca: 3rd or 2nd century BC,
This tiny sculpture, measuring only about 1.5 cm in length, likely served as a decorative ornament or pendant.
In Ancient Greece, honey was a vital sweetener and was often used in religious offerings to the gods, making bees highly regarded and frequently depicted in their art.

Aphroditos (or Aphroditus) is a masculine version of Aphrodite originating in Cyprus and celebrated in Athens. He was usually portrayed as having a more female shape and clothing, while also having a phallus, hence having a male name. (You know ancient Greeks and their lack of understanding of trans people, but I digress.) Later on, it seems that Aphroditos may have become Hermaphroditos, the deity who was the son of Aphrodite and Hermes.
There's also a statue of Venus on Cyprus, that's bearded, shaped and dressed like a woman, with scepter and male genitals, and they conceive her as both male and female. Aristophanes calls her Aphroditus, and Laevius says: Worshiping, then, the nurturing god Venus, whether she is male or female, just as the Moon is a nurturing goddess. In his Atthis Philochorus, too, states that she is the Moon and that men sacrifice to her in women's dress, women in men's, because she is held to be both male and female.
