Don't think there's any confusion on that front, as Homer's hymn to Aphrodite reads - see below (http://www.worldcat.org/wcpa/servlet/DCA...0520239911&standardNoType=1&excerpt=true) . The gods move in mysterious ways, evidently:
I will sing to Cyprian Cytheria, who gives kind gifts to mortals;
on her lovely face, ever smiling, an alluring bloom shimmers.
Hail, Goddess, ruling well-built Salamis and Cyprus in the sea:
give me an alluring song.
orangoutan is much more respectable, though.
@ella - thanks for reading and commenting. I always look forward to your critiques - they're insightful and a source of encouragement.
