The Aphrodite of Milos (Greek: "Αφροδίτη της Μήλου"), better known as the Venus de Milo, is one of the most representative statues from the Hellenistic period of Greek sculpture, and one of the most famoussculptures of ancient Greece. It was created sometime between the years 130 and 100 a. C., and is thought to represent Aphrodite (called Venus in Roman mythology), the goddess of love and beauty; measured aproximadamente211 cm high. This statue was found in Milos (Cyclades), unearthed by a farmer and sold to France between 1819 and 1820. The price the farmer asked for the sculpture was too highand Dumont d'Urville, traveler who made ​​a stop at this place had not enough money to buy it, so he turned to a French ambassador in Constantinople, who agreed to buy it . However, before the farmer had agreed to sell to the Turks, which began a dispute over possession of the statue.
The sculpture was made of white marble, several blocks whosejoints are not visible, a little larger than the natural author is unknown, but believed he could be the work of Alexander of Antioch.

discovery
The statue was found partially buried in two pieces, the April 8, 1820 on the Aegeanisland of Melos, also called Milo, by a peasant named Yorgos Kendrotás. Near the statue was found a fragment of a forearm and hand with an apple (in Greek, literally means Μήλο block) and these residues are considered part of the arms. The right arm is thought that held the robe just at the left hip in an apparent attempt to prevent the garment from slipping, while the left held the apple of Judgmentof Paris, the Trojan Paris Apple had to offer the very Aphrodite in testimony of his decision at the legendary beauties trial he was subjected. The truth is that it is unclear whether the arms could be lost after the discovery of modern sculpture: Yorgos left half of Venus in the same place where he had found not to dig, because its weight is less than 900 kilos, and half carried her to the barn,offering first sale of the statue to an orthodox priest.
Some historians suggest that the statue left the island by force, losing both arms to hit the rocks, but also said that the Turks attacked the boat and fight the statue lost arms. The truth is that after some repair work, the statue was presented to King Louis XVIII in 1821. Finally, the King gave the Louvre Museum in Paris, where stilltoday shows public admiration. The Aphrodite of Milo left Greece on March 1, 1821, just twenty days before modern Greece declared its independence from the Ottoman Empire.
