Aphrodite (Venus)

Picture
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of affection, style, amusement and generation. According to the siods's Theology, she was born when Cronus  cut off Uranus's genitals into the ocean and, and she rose from the ocean, and she rose from the ocean foam. Because of her beauty, other gods feared that their rivalry over her would interrupt the peace among them and lead to war, so Zeus married her to Hephaestus ,who,because of his ugliness and deformity, was not seen as a threat.
