Venus(Aphrodite), playing one day with her boy Cupid(Eros), wounded her bosom with one of his arrows. She pushed him away, but the wound was deeper than she thought Before it healed she beheld Adonis, and was captivated with him She no longer took any interest in her favorite esorts---Paphos, and Cnidos, and Amathos rich in metals. She absented herself even from heaven for Adonis was dearer to her than heaven

Be brave towards to the timid, said she, courage against the courageous is not safe. Be ware how you expose yourself to danger and put my happiness to risk. Attack not the beast that Nature has armed with weapons. I do not value your glory so high as to consent to purchase it by such exposure. Your youth, and the beauty that charms Venus, will not touch the hearts of lions and bristly boars

Think of their terrible claws and prodigious strength! I hate the whole race of them. Do you ask me why? Then she told him the story of Atalanta and Hippomenes, who were changed into lions for their ingratitude to her

Having given him this warning, she mounted her chariot drawn by swans, and drove away through the air But adonis was too noble to heed such counsels. The dogs had roused a wild boar from his lair, and the youth throw his spear and wounded the animal with sidelong stroke. The beast drew out the weapon with his jaws, and rushed after Adonis, who turned and ran but the boar overtook him, and buried his tusks in his side, and stretched him dying upon the plain

Venus, in her swan-drawn chariot, had not yet reached Cyprus, when she heard coming up through mid-air the groans of her beloved, and turned her white-winged coursers back to earth As she drew near and saw from on high his lifeless body bathed in blood, she alighted and bending over it, beat her breast and tore her hair

Reproaching the Fates, she said, Yet theirs shall be but a partial triumph; memorials of my grief shall endure, and the spectacle of your death my Adonis, and of my lamentation shall be annually renewed. Your blood shall be changed into a flower. Thus speaking she sprinkled nectar on the blood; and as they mingled bubbles rose as in a pool on which raindrops fall, and in an hours time there sprang up a flower of bloody hue like that of the pomegranate
