Greek Gods and Goddesses (Pt. 10)

Aphrodite:

Roman name: Venus. Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, passion, and procreation. Her symbols include myrtles, roses, doves, sparrows, and swans. She had a belt that caused others to fall in love with the wearer. Some of the other Greek goddesses would borrow it from time to time. Hera was one of them. Because she is the goddess of love, she has the power to control and inspire love and sexual desire. Her powers are powerful enough to even influence Zeus himself. She had a very bad temper. She was partly the reason the Trojan War started. During the Trojan War, she rekindled the love of Paris and Helen, her half sister. She had many male partners, including Phaeton, Phaon, Butes, Anchises, Nerites, Ares, Dionysus, Hermes, Poseidon, and Adonis. During the Trojan War she sided with the Trojans.
