Plaque at Aphrodite's Rock Aphrodites Rock, also known as Petra tou Romiou (Rock of the Roman) is located near Paphos, Cyprus, just off the coast of the main road from Paphos to Limassol. According to legend, the rock marks the site of the birth of the goddess Aphrodite (Venus in Roman mythology) from sea foam. In brief, after Gaia (Mother Earth) had her son Cronos (Time) castrate his father Uranus (Sky), Uranus testicles were thrown into the sea. Aphrodite sprung from sea foam that circled around the area where they landed. Other local myths say that anyone who swims around the rock thirteen times will regain their virginity. Others say that a person who swims around the rock will have eternal beauty. Finally, another legend says that the nearby beach is the place where the Achaeans came ashore when sailing back from the Trojan War. Aphrodite had a large cult following on the island.
