Rand Naamou 2nd Hour

Aphrodite is an ancient hero and is the Greek Goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. According to Hesoid's Theogony, she was born when Cronus cut off Uranus' genitals and threw them into the sea. She arose from the sea foam. Since Zeus thought that Aphrodite's beauty would interrupt the peace among them and cause a war due to the jealousy of her beauty, he made her marry Hephaestus. However, she had many other lovers such as Ares (a God) and Archises (a man). She was also known as the Cytherea (Lady of Cythera) and Cypris (Lady of Cypris). Myrtles,doves, sparrows, horses, and swans are sacred to her.
