Story of Adonis

            Aphrodite put Adonis in the chest of Persephone to be taken care of. When Adonis grew up, Persephone was charmed by his extraordinary beauty. She would not give Adonis back to Aphrodite when she was supposed to because of his charm and beauty.

            Aphrodite was not happy so she went to Zeus for a ruling. Zeus allowed Aphrodite and Persephone to spend 4 months each with Adonis. The other 4 months he could spend with whomever his heart desired. That of course was Aphrodite.
