LETTERS, Page 17Aphrodite Defended
Essayist Jesse Birnbaum stirred up some controversy with his
April 24 piece "Aphrodite Was No Lady." We've received letters from
ten readers complaining that the treatment of the fabled goddess
and the examination of matters aphrodisiac were unfair. As one of
the critics put it, "Aphrodite is the symbol of love; the making
of blatantly sexist jokes at womankind's expense is an outrage."
