The history behind Adonis Baths relates to the love story of Aphrodite and Adonis. Both 'Aphrodite' the Goddess of Love and 'Persephone' the Goddess of Underworld loved Adonis. This led to a fight between Aphrodite and Persephone and the court ruled that Adonis should spend one third of the year with Aphrodite, one third with Persephone and the remaining by himself.
