Aphrodite, Goddess of Love (Goddess of Love)

Lee, in her first peplum appearance when she was still billed as "per autorizzazione della Rank Films", plays pure and innocent Iride (a bit of a stretch to her talents), slave to sculptor Praxiteles (Girotti) and model for his statue of the goddess Aphrodite. One day she finds injured Macedonian soldier Laertes (Sernas) washed up on the beach and takes him home, as always seems to happen in these films. Naturally the two fall for each other, arousing the jealousy of Praxiteles, who betrays Laertes to the Greek soldiers who have been searching for him. Laertes escapes, but Iride, believing him dead, deserts Praxiteles and winds up working at the Greek soldiers orgies. Laertes leads a victorious army to find his love, and rescues her from a life of sin in the nick of time.
