Aphrodite is the goddesses of Love.
When Aphrodite was born she just rose out of the sea in a cloud of foam. When she
walks on grass the flowers spring up. She is also known as the goddesses of
beauty and desire. She is known to be
the most beautiful goddess in Olympia. Aphrodite was beautiful and she was
kind, but
sometimes she wanted revenge. Liked by all the gods and mortals, Aphrodite's beauty usually made
others jealous.
When
Eris
instigated a fight by causing
Aphrodite, Athena and
Hera to argue about which of them was the fairest, Paris
was to be the judge. The three goddesses attempted to bribe him.
Paris liked Aphrodite's bribe the best which was to make Helen fall in love with
him. In thanks to Paris' support Aphrodite made her son Eros take Paris to
Greece to find Helen. When Aphrodite lost a beauty contest to another goddess named
Cale, she turned her into an old woman. |
