APHRODITE

Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. Her symbols of power are dolphins, roses, scallop shells, myrtles, doves, sparrows and swans.Once Zeus made Aphrodite marry Hephaestus since he was the most steady god out of all of them. to stop a war of jealousy over Aphrodite because she was to beautiful.
APHRODITE'S NAMES
Aphrodite has many names used in many different places of the world. The ones used in Greece are Cirilo, Cytherea, Pandemos and Idalia and when all the cities of Greece combined the names, they got the name Aphrodite.
APHRODITE'S BIRTH
There's actually 2 different myths about how Aphrodite was born the 1st one is that she was born from sea foam, because Cronus cut off Uranus' genitals and threw them into the sea behind him. After the genitals had sailed a long time across the water, white foam form into a little girl named Aphrodite from from the human flesh.Then Aphrodite floated straight to an empty scallop shell. Then she drifted towards the shore in the scallop shell, when she arose she was then hailed as Cyprian.Who knew such a beautiful person could be made in such a disgusting way.
