Pausanias Description of Greece 1.14.7

[7] Nearby is a sanctuary [ hieron] of Aphrodite the celestial one [ Ouraniā]; the first humans [ anthrōpoi] to establish the custom of worshipping [ sebesthai] her were the Assyrians, and then, after the Assyrians, the Paphians of Cyprus and the Phoenicians who live at Askalon in Palestine [ Palaistinē]; it is from the Phoenicians that the people of Kythēra learned the practice of worshipping [ sebesthai] her. Among the Athenians it was Aigeus who established [ kathistasthai] the practice, who thought that he was childless (he had, in fact, no children at the time) and that his sisters had suffered their misfortune [ sumphorā] because of the wrath [ mēnīma] of Aphrodite the celestial one [ Ouraniā]. The statue [ agalma], as it exists even in my time, is of Parian marble and is the work [ ergon] of Pheidias. One of the Athenian demes [ dēmoi] is that of the Athmoneis, who say that Porphyrion, an earlier king than Aktaios, founded their sanctuary [ hieron] of the celestial one [ Ouraniā]. But the traditions current among the demes [ dēmoi] often differ altogether from those of the city [ polis].
