The goddess of love has reigned supreme through Western art, but her roots are darker, more ancient and shape-shifting than you'd expect.
Historian and TV presenter Prof Bettany Hughes joins Daniel to tell the surprising history of the powerful immortal.
Plus, a seascape painter who lives on a yacht, and artist Khaled Sabsabi explores the exchange between spiritual belief and our human aspirations.
