Carly Fiorina- Enter the New Venus of the Republican Party

No, no, I’m not talking about the planet Venus. That dame is hot and dry, while this one is cool and collected. While the one is sulphuric and deadly, the other is a breath of fresh air. 

Yes indeed if I were to compare Carly Fiorina the Republican candidate who until now was the least favoured of all the candidates the GOP had mustered out, with a Roman god, I would easily pick Venus the Roman Goddess of love, persuasive female charm and victory. Victory? Shouldn’t that go to Bellona, Victoria or even Diana the Roman goddess of the hunt? Traditionally yes, but historically no. How come? 

Although originally enjoying at once, the dual nature of female sexuality and chastity, towards the end of the Roman Republic, she had come to be viewed by many as essentially a goddess of victory. 

This led many Roman leaders to adopt her as their patron goddess and ascribe to her their battlefield triumphs. For example the general Sulla adopted as surname Felix meaning lucky to acknowledge his debt to heaven-sent good fortune and his particular debt to Venus Felix, for his extraordinary political and military career. 

Pompey likewise ascribed his rise to Venus by celebrating his triumph of 54BC with coins that showed her crowned with triumphal laurels. Julius Caesar his erstwhile friend, well until that wine went sour went one better. Claiming to have gained the support of Venus Citrix in his military success he equally laid on the family tradition that as Venus Genetrix she was a personal divine ancestress. 

Not wishing to be outdone by these two and perhaps to consolidate his rulership Augustus, the first Roman emperor and Caesar’s nephew and successor adopted both claims as evidence of both his natural and divine right to rule. And so as a new era opened up for the empire, an era which saw the Roman state rising out from internal division and domestic crisis to once again lead the world, it was backed by the verve and élan of a radical and protective deity called Venus. 

Can Carly Fiorina do the same for the Republican party, a party which owing to the foreign policy of the then Bush administration has arguably suffered not only domestically but led Americas international influence and prestige to suffer too? 

Before yesterday night I would have said fat chance, but after seeing the way she was able to not only take on Donald Trump, erstwhile front runner for the Republican nomination, in his criticism of what she wore, but walk away unscathed from an ordinarily astute political pugilist. 

After seeing the way she was able to deflect that attack and come out shining in the standings, one thing is clear, even if she doesn’t eventually come out the Republican nominee, she has definitely won the heart and support of a wide swathe of Americans (Democrats included) and currying her support and patronage as did the political gladiators of Rome, Venus Victrix once, may not be a bad idea at all. 

Meanwhile, one thing is sure- that Carly Fiorina clearly represents the new American female model. A model, who is not only able to take on her male counterparts in the board room, but equally has the dress sense, the style, the confidence and the charisma to carry it off without antagonising the other men in the room. It doesn’t hurt that notwithstanding her 61 years of age, she’s very easy on the eyes. 

Indeed Carly Fiorina is a symbol of American female business and political success. If you like, just call it, the Venus Factor.
