Heavenly Aphrodite.
The temple of Aphrodite Orania in the city of Askalon (Ascalon) in ancient Syria was thought to be the oldest shrine to the goddess on earth; when the Skythians (Scythians) invaded what we call the middle east, they marched through Syria; most of the soldiers did not plunder or harm the Syrians but some of them looted the ancient temple of Aphrodite Orania; the soldiers and their descendants were afflicted by the goddess of Love with a disease which is generally called the “female sickness” and causes loss of virility; the Skythians call the victims of this illness, Enareis, i.e. hermaphrodite.
