Found a Connection to Greek Myth

The other day I was listening to spotify and the song called "Venus" by Lady Gaga started playing. It was not until taking this class that I was so easily able to pick up on the Greek myth references. The lyrics can be seen below. Lady Gaga mentions many greek figures and their connected symbol. I found this extremely interesting as myth can be seen in pop culture.


[Verse 1]
Rocket #9 take off to the planet (to the planet)
Venus
Aphrodite lady seashell bikini (garden panty)
Venus
Let's blast off to a new dimension (in your bedroom)
Venus
Aphrodite lady seashell bikini (get with me)
Venus

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t help the way I’m feeling
Goddess of love, please take me to your leader
I can’t help, but keep on dancin'
Goddess of love! Goddess of love!

Take me to your planet (to the planet)
Take me to your planet (to the planet)
Take me to your leader (to the planet)
Your leader, your leader (to the planet)
Take me to your planet (to the planet)
Take me to your planet (to the planet)
Take me to your Venus (to the planet)
Your Venus, your Venus (to the planet)

[Chorus]
When you touch me I die
Just a little inside
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love
'Cause you’re out of this world
Galaxy, space and time
I wonder if this could be love

Venus

[Verse 2]
Have an oyster, baby
It’s Aphrod-isy
Act sleazy
Venus
Worship to the land
A girl from the planet (to the planet)
(to the planet)

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t help the way I’m feeling
Goddess of love, please take me to your leader
I can’t help, but keep on dancin'
Goddess of love! Goddess of love!

Take me to your planet (to the planet)
Take me to your planet (to the planet)
Take me to your leader (to the planet)
Your leader, your leader (to the planet)
Take me to your planet (to the planet)
Take me to your planet (to the planet)
Take me to your Venus (to the planet)
Your Venus, your Venus (to the planet)

[Chorus]
When you touch me I die
Just a little inside
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love
'Cause you’re out of this world
Galaxy, space and time
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love

I wonder if this could be love
This could be love
Goddess of love
I wonder if this could be love
Venus

[Bridge]
Neptune
Go
Now serve Pluto
Saturn
Jupiter
Mercury, Venus - uh ha!
Uranus!
Don’t you know my ass is famous?
Mars
Now serve for the gods
Earth, serve for the stars!

When you touch me I die
Just a little inside
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love
'Cause you’re out of this world
Galaxy space and time
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love
Goddess of love
I wonder if this could be love

Venus
