Aphrodite (Hellenistic Bronze) found in Syria.
To Aphrodite (Homeric Hymn X)
Of Cythera, born in Cyprus, I will sing. 
She gives kindly gifts to men: smiles ever on her lovely face, and lovely is the brightness that plays over it.
Hail, goddess, queen of the well-built Salamis and sea girt Cyprus; grant me a cheerful song.
And now I will remember you and another song also.
