Note 808 — Chapter VI · THE MAKING OF A GODDESS.

Reading edition

At Sekyon, though we are not expressly told of a bath of Aphrodite, she had a maiden-priestess who was called Loutrophoros, see P. II. 10. 4. The Orphic Hymn to Aphrodite (LV. 19) joins together the notions of bath and birth: Αἰγύπτου κατέχεις ἱερῆς γονιμώδεα λουτρά.
