Stones, ivorine or resin statue, silver sprayed Bought in the late 1980s Adonis is a figure from Greek and Phoenician mythology. The name of this deity simply comes from the Phoenician Adon, which means 'lord'. Like the Phoenician Adon, Adonis referred to the goddess's lover, an annually dying and resurrecting god. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was named as his lover.
