Venus de Milo, ancient statue commonly thought to represent Aphrodite, now in Paris at the Louvre Museum. It was carved from marble by Alexandros, a sculptor of Antioch on the Maeander River about 150 BCE. It was found in pieces on the Aegean island of Melos on April 8, 1820, and was subsequently presented to Louis XVIII (who then donated it to the Louvre in 1821). Though it was reconstructed to a standing posture, the statue+IBk-s arms were never found. An inscription that is not displayed with the statue states that +IBw-Alexandros, son of Menides, citizen of Antioch of Maeander made the statue.+IB0 The figure+IBk-s origin on the island of Melos has led some to think she may be Amphitrite, the Greek goddess of the sea.
