Perhaps a better answer is that I see Eve's apple and Aphrodite's golden apple as the same apple basically. And Eve and Aphrodite as the same woman or goddess.

I identify Eve with the goddess element and with Aphrodite but this poem is really all about Eve.
It's a very poignant poem from a Woman's angle. how much suffering has this story caused throughout the ages. i prefer goddesses myself! A very fine and thoughtful poem, Barry.
Thanks Tom. I don't know how I missed posting it here before. It was on facebook before.
A wonderful poem and a beautiful graphic to complement it. Enjoyed reading. It's a great theme to write on n it's amazing that you have written it from a woman's point of view.10
Thanks very much Nosheen. I have always felt that Eve got a bad rap. Glad you liked the poem.
