Venus, the goddess of love, is still a concept we are familiar with - although nowadays we blame hormones and pheromones for the work she used to do.
Martha talks to the writer Andrew Dalby about the story of Venus, her birth in sea foam, her relationship to Cupid, and some of the terrible havoc she wreaked.
