Aphrodite
was the symbol of female beauty and Goddess of Love, identified in Rome
with Venus. Although Homer describes Aphrodite as the daughter of Zeus and
Dion, the more popular view was that she was conceived in the foam of the
ocean from the seed of Uranus. Dropped there when he was castrated, her name
meaning "foam-born". Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus, but she loved Ares
and she was known for her many love affairs, notably with Adonis and Anchises.
Aphrodite,
the most beautiful woman in the world, inspired lust in all the humans and
other creatures of the planet. No one could escape the traps that she set to
amuse herself with the doings of love-crazed men and women. The passion which
she planted in the human soul was the force that propelled fertilization and
reproduction (Venus Genetrix).
