This Aphrodite figurine of 3rd-2nd century B.C., a burial gift found in the necropolis of Dardania on Mount Ida.

(English / Español / Italiano)

It has the symbol of Asklepios, the god of medicine and healing in ancient Greek religion, snakes entwined around her left arm and left leg, symbolizing life and death. In Greek mythology, the "Mountain of the Goddess" was Mount Ida in the ancient Troad region of western Anatolia (in modern-day Turkey) which was also known as the Phrygian Ida in classical antiquity and is the mountain that's mentioned in the Iliad of Homer and the Aeneid of Virgil. Both are associated with the mother goddess in the deepest layers of pre-Greek myth, in that Mount Ida in Anatolia was sacred to Cybele, who is sometimes called Mater Idaea ("Idaean Mother").

Esta figurilla de Afrodita, que data de los siglos III-II a. C., es un ajuar funerario hallado en la necrópolis de Dardania, en el monte Ida. Presenta el símbolo de Asclepio, el dios de la medicina y la curación en la religión griega antigua: serpientes entrelazadas alrededor de su brazo y pierna izquierdos, que simbolizan la vida y la muerte. En la mitología griega, la «Montaña de la Diosa» era el monte Ida, situado en la antigua región de Tracia, al oeste de Anatolia (en la actual Turquía), también conocido como el Ida frigio en la Antigüedad clásica y mencionado en la Ilíada de Homero y la Eneida de Virgilio. Ambas están asociadas a la diosa madre en las capas más profundas del mito pregriego, ya que el monte Ida en Anatolia era sagrado para Cibeles, a quien a veces se llama Mater Idaea («Madre Idaea»).

Questa statuetta di Afrodite, risalente al III-II secolo a.C., è un corredo funerario rinvenuto nella necropoli di Dardania sul Monte Ida. Presenta il simbolo di Asclepio, il dio della medicina e della guarigione nella religione greca antica: dei serpenti intrecciati attorno al braccio sinistro e alla gamba sinistra, che simboleggiano la vita e la morte. Nella mitologia greca, la "Montagna della Dea" era il Monte Ida nell'antica regione della Troade, nell'Anatolia occidentale (nell'odierna Turchia), noto anche come Ida frigio nell'antichità classica ed è la montagna menzionata nell'Iliade di Omero e nell'Eneide di Virgilio. Entrambe sono associate alla dea madre nei livelli più profondi del mito pre-greco, in quanto il Monte Ida in Anatolia era sacro a Cibele, talvolta chiamata Mater Idaea ("Madre Idaea").
