The Venus de Milo is one of the most enduring works of Greek sculpture. It was found on the island of Melos or Milo of Aegean Sea, buried in the walls of an ancient ruin. The twisting figure and modernized drapery give the Venus great nobility. The statue is thought to represent either Aphrodite, Venus's Greek counterpart, or Amphitrite, the goddess-queen of the sea and wife of Poseidon.
