𝐍𝐚𝐦e: Aphrodite 𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: Goddess of Love, Beauty, Sexual Pleasure, and Fertility 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭s: Zeus (Sky) and Diona (However, Hesiod suggests that she was born when Uranus' genitals fell into the sea when he was castrated)
𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧: Aphrodite's name is usually linked to the Ancient Greek word for "sea-foam," aphros, which fits nicely with the story of her birth.
𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐬: Magical girdle and shell, a dove, sparrow, roses, and myrtles
𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐬: Zeus married her to Hephaestus, the ugliest among the Olympians. Of course, this merely alleviated the problem: Aphrodite didn't plan to remain faithful. So, she started an affair with someone as destructive and as violent as herself: Ares. Helios, however, saw them and informed Hephaestus, after which the god made sure to devise a fine bronze net, which ensnared the couple the next time they lay together in bed. To add insult to injury, Hephaestus called upon all the other gods to laugh at the adulterers and freed them only after Poseidon agreed to pay for their release.
