In honor of Valentines Day we spent some of the class period talking about Aphrodite (aka Venus) and Eros (aka cupid)
Cupid today is just the watered down version of Eros
Aphrodite is the goddess of love
Eros is the god of love
Aphrodite Urania
*goddess of pure (platonic) spiritual love
Aphrodite Pandemos
*goddess of physical love
Both Eros and Aphrodite have the power to make you weak in the knees
Psyche means soul and the visual representation of psyche (and soul) is a butterfly
Whippersnapper - Dr. Sexson said he could never figure out where the term came from and it looks like it dates all the back to 1674. Check out this link if you want the definition.
"it is the best never to have been born at all, next to die young, and that old age is the worst that can befall a man" pg 243 in Steiner - know for the test
