Another name for Venus, given to Venus due to her birth place of Cythera. Unlike the other poets who we have covered so far, it is important to remember that Sulpicia is a female, and as such her view of Venus is different from the male poets. Sulpicia does not view Venus or love as something shameful or something which should be hidden. She instead embraces both the goddess and her own feelings of love in a way most of the male poets do not.
