Aphrodite

= = //Goddess of love// =Ancient Diety= Aphrodite was existent before the greeks because other civilizations before them had already named a God or Goddess of love. These Civilizations worshipped their versions of Aphrodite with many of the same acts as the greeks did in their cult that worshipped Aphrodite. The birth of Aphrodite was caused by cronus castrating his father Uranus, whose genitals were flung into the sea where Aphrodite was sprung from. This story makes Aphrodite existent since the earth began when the heavens split. Aphrodite aroused passion in all men and God's which made her absolutely irrsesistable. Although her power does not seem comparable to things such as War or Sun she had so much power because she could make a man do whatever she wanted. Aphrodite was very promiscuous and did not want to choose a husband because she didn't want to change her ways. Aphrodite wore a magic girdle that her first husband Hephaestus made for her that made her irresistable to all men.

 * Aphrodite's Lovers/ Marriages**

Aphrodite was forced to marry Hephaestus because she would not choose a husband and therefore Zeus chose one for her. While married to Hephaestus she had multiple affairs both with humans and other God's. She also feel in love with the Prince Adonis, but their love story has a tragic ending because he dies and she must do away with his body. While married to Hephaestus he catches her in the act of adultery with the God of War. Among these three men are numerous other lovers that Aphrodite had sexual relations with.

<Ares( God of War)

= = Aphrodite exists as our organs that are involved in making love and in sexual contact with others. She is also represented in sexually transmitted diseases and in orgasm. Aphrodite is the longing feeling that humans get when they miss their lover or they are not able to get what they want in love. She is one of the most influential God's and stands for so many different areas of modern life. =Modern Diety= The modern day Aphrodite I think would be someone who is a symbol of sexual immortality and who is very popular among the male species. The modern day Aphrodite would be physically appealing to all men and possibly women, and would be sexually promiscuous with famous men as well as average men because of her physical beauty. She would be able to have anyone she wanted because she would be famous, beautiful, and irresistable. I think that because of the level of promiscuity the modern day Aphrodite would have many sexually transmitted diseases and would not be faithful to whoever she were to marry. Paris Hilton is an a close examply of what Aphrodite would be like today because she is very confident in her sexual appeal and is not afraid of people knowing about ehr sexual immortality because she is who she is.
