The Birth of Venus
- The Greek goddess Aphrodite was intended to be this as the goddess of love and beauty, and naturally, the literal personification of Fanservice.
- Likewise, her Roman counterpart Venus was the personification of beauty, and is often depicted as naked in artwork, including Sandro Botticelli's famous "The Birth of Venus" (pictured here).
- Even more likewise, the likely inspiration for both goddesses is the extremely popular Canaanite goddess Astarte.
- Don't forget about Helen of Troy. There was a war fought over her, afterall.
- There's also Freyja of Norse Mythology. She's the Norse goddess of love, beauty, lust, gold and female warriors. She's described in most myths as a blue-eyed blonde with a voluptuous body and ample bosom. She also Really Gets Around, apparently.
