Aphrodite

She is the goddess of love and is known for her beauty. Unwillingly, she marries hephaeostus. 


Power: She upholds the power of seduction and love. She is able to disarm a man of her target so Eros, her son can shoot the victim with the arrow of love. 



Origin: Aphrodite had formed from white sperm that had been released in the ocean from the genitals of  Kronos' father that he had severed off by him. The sperm had mixed with the ocean and made aphrodite the gorgeous goddess. She was drifted off to shore by the winds on a scallop shell.

Symbol: The dove and swan. It represents the grace and beauty of Aphrodite. 



A written piece of work aphrodite is mentioned in is the trojan war written by Olivia Coolidge. She is known for starting this huge war.

This song was written by Kylie Monigue. In the video she preforms it in the setting of ancient times. It has a theme of water for the sake of Aphrodite being formed from the white foam of the ocean.

    I really like your cartoon representation of Aphrodite! It was easily recognizable to Hercules. Your information was easy to understand, which I also liked. Great job!!!
