Who Knew?

APHRODITE was the great Olympian goddess of pleasure, joy, beauty, love and procreation.

Aphrodite's Magic Girdle:

This girdle was popular for its ability to arouse desire and create a great hunger for love. This girdle was so "potent" that whomever she desired would fall in love with her. Hera, in her role as the goddess of marriage, occassionally borrowed it from Aphrodite to reunite quarrelling spouses in love and to inspire the bridal contests of suitors.  It is even sometimes said that Hera once wore the girdle to win back Zeus's affection. 

And I always assumed it was a MAN who invented that torture device!  Who Knew?

...and more importantly, would Aphrodite just wear Spanx nowadays??
