…Women's buttocks are full and plump, symbolizing reproduction and fertility. The Great Mother (Earth Goddess) relief from Laussel in France, the female figure from Sireuil, and the female figure from Willendorf in Austria, all have large, raised buttocks and are called Venus statues because the Greek goddess Aphrodite, who corresponds to Venus, was also called Kallipygos (meaning "having beautiful buttocks"). All Aphrodite statues have large, beautiful buttocks.
