It’s not Aphrodite, but Lucian of Samosata proposed this figure was the form of Astarte as the full moon citing this figure’s worship in a temple in Sidon. A region named after this figure was distinguished from Libya and a region named after an Oceanid. Asterion married this woman and two of this woman’s sons became (*) judges of the underworld. Herodotus (-5[1])theorized that a historical basis for this woman’s myth was a Greek act of revenge against Phoenicians for the abduction of Io.
