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 reading and critiquing - they're insightful and a great source of encouragement.
Stupid myths. xD
Well, since the blind man spoke it, I guess it's acceptable now. But now I wonder why that didn't bother me when I read the hymns -- must be coz' of how much my eyes got all glossy by that point.
