Aphrodite from the Waves

Her conception from Uranus

could not have been more gory.

Cronus, castrating his own father,

claimed the throne.

While into the sea the surplus bits

were arrogantly thrown.

The end result was Venus,

who the Greeks call Aphrodite.

And if 'omnia vincit Amor',

is she Goddess

Almighty?

The use of resin makes her very light, a mere 7 kilos to a metre-fourteen height.
