Aphrodite's girdle, or cestus,
was magical belt or band in
Greek mythology that made
the wearer irresistibly alluring
and inspiring of love and desire.
It was created by the god
Hephaestus and was a symbol
of the goddess's power to charm
and captivate both gods and mortals alike. This enchanted garment was famously borrowed by Hera in the
lliad to help her seduce Zeus.
