维纳斯雕像"的由来
古希腊神话传说中有一位爱和美的女神，名叫阿芙洛狄特，古罗马人称维纳斯。维纳斯出生在海上，当她在时光女神和美惠女神陪同下来到众神住地奥林匹斯圣山时，众神皆惊羡不已，就连天父宙斯也为之倾倒。宙斯追求她，遭到拒绝，一怒之下将她嫁给火神赫淮斯托斯。火神既丑又跛，于是维纳斯私下与战神阿瑞斯产生了私情。
有一次，她与战神私会，因战神的仆人贪睡，早晨未去叫醒他们，结果被太阳神发现，告诉了火神，二人当场被抓获。战神十分生气，把仆人变成了公鸡，让它每天司晨。维纳斯掌管人间的爱情与婚姻，维护人间爱情，惩罚无情者，她的金箭射中谁，谁就会产生爱情。但是维纳斯不仅能够促成人们的婚姻，而且能够破坏人们的婚姻，甚至能够借爱情的力量挑起战争。据传，著名的特洛伊战争就是这位爱情女神挑起的。
The Aphrodite of Melos is made of marble and represents vivdly the goddess Aphrodite. This statue had earned it's name the Venus de Milo or Venus de Melos, because in 1820, a peasant had found it on the Greek island of Melos and it was named after the island where it was found.
The statue shows Aphrodite semi-nude and with a robe wrapped around her legs. For hundreds of years the statue had remained buried in an undergroundcavern. On account of this, the statue had suffered significant damage and it was found in two parts. Later it was replaced together and sent to France, because the Marquis de Riviere had brought the statue and had given it to Louis XVIII of France. Pieces of arms and a pedestal with an inscription, were also found in the cave, but these were later lost and never found again.
No one knows who created the statue of the Aphrodite of Melos. It is probably the work of the Greek artist Alexandros of Antioch. This name was inscribed on the block of stone on the pedestal that was later lost, but this is doubted from scholars because it may not have been the corrected block with the Venus de Milo, so this had erased the attribution to Alexandros. Some scholars had attributed the work of the statue to Praxiteles. It is said that it was sculpted around the second century B.C.
译文：
"米洛的阿芙洛狄特"是由大理石制成的，惟妙惟肖地刻画了女神阿芙洛狄特。在1820年，一位农民在希腊的米洛岛上发现了这尊雕像，此后它就以这个岛而得名，被称为"米洛的维纳斯"。
雕像展示了阿芙洛狄特半裸的形象，一条长袍遮住了她的双腿。数百年来，这尊雕像被深埋于一个地下洞穴中。因此，雕像严重受损，当它被发现时已经断为两截。后来它被修复在一起，并送往了法国，因为马尔凯斯?德里维尔已购买了这尊雕像，把它送给法国国王路易十八。在洞中也发现了雕像胳膊和刻有铭文的底座的残片，但是后来这些东西均被丢失，而且从此再未找到过。
没有人知道谁创作了雕像"米洛的维纳斯"。它可能是希腊雕刻家，安屈克亚的亚历山德罗斯的作品。因为在那块后来丢失的雕像底座上刻着这个名字，但是学者们对此表示怀疑，因为这可能不是真正的"米洛的维纳斯"的底座，这就使亚历山德罗斯是否是雕像的作者产生置疑。一些学者认为这尊雕像是普拉克西特利斯的作品。它据说是作于公元前2世纪左右。
