吟遊詩人 · Bard — A wandering artist who changes the world with song and story

The bard is a wandering artist who moves people's emotions through song, music, and storytelling while immortally recording heroic deeds. The historical archetype is the bard class of Celtic society — scholars who memorized tribal history, genealogy, law, and mythology to pass down orally. Medieval Europe saw troubadours (southern France) and minnesingers (Germany) active in courts singing of love, war, and chivalry. In fantasy they become a class wielding magic through music, enhancing allies or charming/frightening enemies. D&D's Bard class is the prime example, with literary characters like Tolkien's Bilbo Baggins and Witcher's Dandelion.

Aphrodite · Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Desire

Aphrodite (Ancient Greek Aphrodite, Latin Venus) is the goddess of love, beauty, desire, and fertility in Greek mythology — the decisive canon, the decisive canonical iconographic figure born from the foam (aphros, sea foam) after Kronos (Kronos) castrated his father Ouranos (Ouranos) and threw his genitals into the sea. The etymology is the decisive canonical vocabulary of the Greek aphros (foam, sea foam) — 'the one born from foam'. The decisive textual canon is the Theogony (Theogony) lines 188-206 of Hesiod (Hesiod) of c. 8th-7th century BCE — the decisive canon in which Kronos castrated his father Ouranos and the genitals fell into the sea, foam (aphros) formed, and Aphrodite was born and landed on the shores of Kypros (Kypros) or Kythera (Kythera) — and the Iliad (Iliad) Book 5 lines 311-430 of Homer (Homer) of c. 8th century BCE — the decisive canon of Diomedes (Diomedes) wounding her wrist with a spear and making her flee — and Book 14 lines 214-221 — the decisive canon of the kestos himas (kestos himas, girdle of love) — and the Odyssey (Odyssey) Book 8 lines 266-366 — the decisive canon of the affair with Ares (Ares) caught in Hephaistos's (Hephaistos) bronze net. The fragment 1 Hymn to Aphrodite (Hymn to Aphrodite) of Sappho (Sappho) of c. 7th century BCE and the Homeric Hymns (Homeric Hymns) No. 5 Hymn to Aphrodite of c. 7th-6th century BCE — the decisive canon of conceiving Aineias (Aineias) with the love of Anchises (Anchises).
