Aphrodite
was a Greek goddess of love, desire, procreation and beauty. In Rome, she is
Venus. Her origins of birth have two accounts. First is that she rose from the
sea inside a giant scallop or sea foam after Cronus castrated Uranus and threw
his genitals in the ocean. This would make Aphrodite part of the old gods were
Titans once prevailed. Another account is that she was a daughter of Zeus, god
of the Heavens, a new God after defeating Cronus and Dione, a goddess of
Oracles of Dodona. As if beauty isn’t enough to lure her suitors, Aphrodite also
has a girdle which attracts everyone around her.
