The goddess of love identified in Rome with Venus, the goddess of ancient Italy. There are two different traditions regarding her birth: sometimes she is considered the daughter of Zeus and Dione, and sometimes she is considered the daughter of Ouranos. Accordingly, the sexual organs of Ouranos, cut off by Kronos, fell into the sea and created this goddess (woman born from the waves or "woman born from the seeds of God").

Antiope is a very beautiful woman. Seeing Antiope's legendary beauty, Zeus, the god of gods, falls in love with her. And he approaches Antiope disguised as a Satyros (the name given to men who perform rituals by drinking wine in the Dionysus religion).
