Aphrodite of Knidos [efilm]
2015
Streaming Video
The Greeks offered more than just action and warfare in their art. This episode examines the first female nude in the tradition, a sculpture of Aphrodite, the femme fatale of Mount Olympus. Whereas Greeks would have considered it unseemly to represent a nude woman, Aphrodite was a goddess and could be portrayed as sensuous, beautiful, and alluring.
