Aphrodite: The Goddess of Love

Who is she? Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty, and sexual pleasure in Greek mythology. Aphrodite is often found with the Graces, the incarnation of charm and beauty, by her side. According to myth, she came from the sea foam after Cronus castrated his own father Uranus and threw the gentiles in the ocean. In Homer’s records, Aphrodite is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. To prevent the gods from fighting over Aphrodite, Zeus marries her to his own hard-working son, Hephaestus. Aphrodite, as the goddess of love, did not love her husband and was known for multiple affairs including Ares and Adonis. Aphrodite had a number of children the most famous of which is Eros (Cupid) and Aeneas.

What role does she play in The Odyssey? When Eirs (the goddess of Stife) threw the golden apple inscribed with “for the fairest,” Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena were the three goddess to claim it was for her. Aphrodite offered Paris the love of the most beautiful woman on Earth (Helen) if he chose her for the apple. In his choosing Aphrodite and running back to Troy with Helen, Paris inadvertently starts the Trojan War. Aphrodite only appears as a reference in The Odyssey; she does not appear as a character. She is mentioned in describing a character’s beauty or in her role in various stories such as the daughters of the wind god being carried away.
