Celebrate Spring with These 15 Instagram Goddesses
Nothing heats up social media quite like sunshine.
As legend has it, Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and lust, took on many forms. In the Iliad, she's portrayed first as a cloud of dark mist and then as an old woman bent on influencing Helen of Troy. In another Greek account, Theogony, she's imagined as a woman rising from the sea, glistening in natural beauty. If Instagram is any indication, springtime is proof that the Theogony is far more accurate. Just look at these 15 modern day beauties. Mount Olympus may have fallen millennia ago, but when spring comes around, Aphrodite walks again. And if you're looking for ways to charm your own goddess of love this spring, consider the five best springtime cocktails.
