Adonis was the Greek God of beauty. It is believed that Aphrodite and Persephone were both taken by his beauty and therefore, there was a dispute between them as to whom he should live with as both had sheltered him as a child. Zeus then settled the matter, by making him spend a third of every year with each goddess and the third wherever he pleased. Adonis chose to spend two thirds of every year with Aphrodite. It is said that he was killed by a wild boar by Ares out of jealousy of Adonis, or Artemis for having instigated the death of Hippolytus who was a favourite of the goddess, or Apollo as punishment for having blinded his son Erymanthus.
