The original Venus de Milo stands over 6 feet tall. It was discovered in 1920 by a Greek farmer on the island of Milos. What is not commonly known is while digging up the sculpture of Venus, part of her missing arm was found next to the statue. In the statues hand, was a apple. Thought to be the apple of discord. This is why the statue is thought to be a representation of Aphrodite. It is written that Aphrodite receiving the apple from Paris, in exchange for Helen of Troy, is what triggered the Trojan War.
