Detail from "Mars and Venus United by Love", by Paolo Veronese (Caliari) (1528-1588) - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, USA.

Note: Some call this picture "The Adoration of Hercules by Juno" and others "Chastity transformed by Love into Charity".

In any case, note the galactorrhea. It is a fact that sometimes women who are not pregnant upon holding an infant may experience modest degrees of galactorrhea or secretion of breast milk.

The "Milky" or "Galactic" way is prominent in classic and Indian mythology.
