The Venus de Milo is a marble statue representing the goddess Venus (in Greek Aphrodite) found in the Greek island of Milo in April 1820, without her arms. The Hellenistic period, created around 150-130 BC. JC.
Its exhibition at the Louvre Museum in 1821 caused a sensation: it was the first statue to come from Greece in the collections and the first to be shown incomplete. Her fame is due to the great beauty of her half-naked body, but also to the controversies aroused by her identity and the position of her arms. Among the many proposals to restore her attitude, archaeologists favor two, the one where Aphrodite holds the apple of the judgment of Paris or the one where she looks at herself in the shield of Ares.
