Lower part of marble statue of Aphrodite Anadyomene

This statue depicts Aphrodite Anadyomene, also known as Venus Anadyomene (from Greek, Venus Rising From the Sea). This scene is one of the iconic representations of the Goddess. According to Greek mythology, Aphrodite was born as an adult woman from the sea, which also perpetually renewed her virginity. A motif of the goddess wringing out her hair is often repeated.该雕像刻画的是阿芙洛狄忒·阿娜狄俄墨涅（Aphrodite Anadyomene），又名维纳斯·阿娜狄俄墨涅（Venus Anadyomene，源自希腊语，意为'从海中升起的维纳斯'）。这一场景是这位女神极具标志性的经典形象之一。据希腊神话记载，阿芙洛狄忒以成年女性的形态从海中诞生，这一诞生方式也使其贞洁得以永恒延续。女神拧干秀发的经典构图常被反复复刻。
