The kêpos is the garden of this temple. People come here to rest and to see their beloved ones, and some even find comfort here from the pain love struck them with.

Aphrodite's domain

Loves that come to us in excess bring no good name or goodness to men.
If Aphrodite comes in moderation, no other goddess brings such happiness. Never, o goddess, may you smear with desire one of your ineluctable arrows and let it fly against my heart
from your golden bow!
May moderation attend me, fairest gift of the gods. May Aphrodite never cast contentious wrath and insatiate quarreling upon me and
madden my heart with love for a stranger's bed. But may she honor marriages that are peaceful and wisely determine whom we are to wed.

Euripides, Medea 630ss.
