Background Information[]

Aphrodite was the goddess of love, beauty and fertility. The poet Hesiod said that Aphrodite was born from sea-foam. Homer, on the other hand, said that she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione.

Aphrodite loved and was loved by many gods and mortals. Among her mortal lovers, the most famous was perhaps Adonis. Some of her sons are Eros, Anteros, Hymenaios and Aeneas (with her Trojan lover Anchises).

Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus.

The Greeks identified Aphrodite with the Ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor.
