garrisonbabe:

i would love to see artwork of a black Aphrodite with pearls and roses sewn into cornrows or dreadlocks. like so much of the art and interpretations of Aphrodite are so white. she’s the goddess of love and beauty like variety would be lovely just sayin’. 

and there’s the excuse “well, she’s greek”

well…. she’s a fucking goddess. if Zeus can show up as a fucking swan and Poseidon can turn into a goddamn horse Aphrodite can be black and fucking beautiful
