More information about Aphrodite:
Aphrodite in ancient Greek mythology and religion is the goddess of love, beauty, sexuality, pleasure and procreation.
The planet Aphrodite owes its name to her.
According to Hesiod’s Theogony, he was born when Cronus cut off the genitals of his father, Uranus, and threw them into the sea.
The goddess came from the foam, hence her name.
According to Homer’s Iliad, she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione.
Plato argues in the Symposium that both accounts are valid, but they refer to the birth of different entities:
of Urania and Pandimos Aphrodite, patronesses of spiritual Platonic idealized and carnal hedonistic love respectively.
Although the women in bondage considered Aphrodite their patroness, her public worship was serious, solemn and unpretentious.
Because of her beauty and her physical beauty, the other gods feared that competing with each other to win her favour would lead to war.
Consequently, Zeus arranged her marriage to Hephaestus, who, because of his ugliness and deformities, was not perceived as a threat.
Aphrodite had, however, many lovers, both gods, such as Mars, and humans, such as Anchisesis.
She played an important role in the myth of Eros and Psyche, and caused the birth of Adonis, who later became her lover.
It is considered the mother of many even smaller deities and entities.
In the Trojan War, which she largely sparked by helping Paris kidnap Helen of Troy, the goddess sided with the Trojans.
She was the wife of Hephaestus, but is described as the mistress of Mars, with whom she is said to have acquired Eros, Deimos and Phobos.
With Neptune he brought to life Erika, who gave his name to the homonymous mountain of Sicily and Rhodes, while with Dionysus, thanks to the magical intercession of Hera,
gave birth to Priam.
Her son is also considered to be Hermaphroditus, who was brought to life by the goddess together with Hermes.
