- Other references to Venus the planet are; Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli in Aztec, Kukulcan in Mayan,and Sif in Norse mythos.
I moved this from Venus (planet), but I'm not sure it belongs here either. I question the veracity of the information. -- April

- A good move. The point of this entry is to distinguish Venus from Greek aphrodite, and to discuss the new meanings of Venus as the generative power that animates the natural world: compare Jean Seznec's book. The woodcut is from Hypnerotomachia Pamphili ("The strife of Love and Death in a dream"), a famous book illustrated with arcane emblems that show a Renaissance "Court of Venus". I stash it here, for this would make a good illustration when the entry gets off the runway. Wetman 23:17, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Venus is the mother of the hero Aeneas. Another son on Venus is Cupid. Cupid is the god of love as is his mother Venus. She possesed all the charms and graces associated with womanhood. She was a child of the greatest god of Rome, Jupiter. Another story says that she rose from the foam of the sea from a shell. Her alter was made of roses. Her son used arrows to make people fall in love. One story says that when Venus walked, flowers sprang from her feet. Even thought all of these stories say different things, they all say that Venus was the goddess of love and beauty. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.18.77.140 (talk • contribs) 17:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
