APHRODITE, JELOUS OF MYRRHA'S BEAUTY FORCED HER TO UNITE WITH HER OWN FATHER. CINYRUS, ADONIS'S FATHER CHASED MYRRHA AND HER UNBORN CHILD WITH A SWORD BECAUSE OF THE AFAIR.
APHRODITE SHAMEFUL OF MYRRHA'S DEED TURNED MYRRAH INTO A MYRRAH TREE. BUT SAVED HER BABY.
APHRODITE HID THE NEWBORN IN A CHEST. SHE GAVE THE BABY IN CHARGE OF PERSEPHONE. ALTHOUGH, PERSEPHONE WAS SO AMAZED BY THE BEAUTY OF THE BABY SHE WOULD NOT RETURN IT.
APHRODITE GOES DOWN TO THE UNDERWORLD TO RANSOM THE BABY FROM THE POWER OF THE DEAD.
I, ZEUS DECLAIRE ONE YEAR BABY ADONIS LIVES IN THE UNDERWORLD WITH PERSEPHONE. THE NEXT YEAR IN THE OVERWORLD WITH APHRODITE.
THE IDEA OF ADONIS STAYING UNDERGROUND REFERS TO WINTER AND FALL AND OVERGROUND REFERS TO SPRING AND SUMMER. THIS MYTH OF LOVE AND DEATH CONNECTS TO THE SEASONS.
