Aphrodite


Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was born on the island of Cytherea, South of the Pelopennes. She had one immortal son: Eros. Aphrodite was married with Hephaistos, but later in the mythology Ares, the god of war, became the husband of Aphrodite. She was also the mother of Aeneas that is why she protected him of great dangers. But Hera, goddess of weddings, hated Aeneas. Paris was his cousin. Paris got the change to choose the handsomest Goddess: Pallas Athene, Hera and Afrodite. Paris' decision was Aphrodite, because she promised him Helena of Sparta (the most beatiful woman on earth at the time). This caused the Trojan war. And because this choise of Paris Hera hated every Trojan.
