Aphrodite
Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and pleasure. Aphrodite is also really mischievous, and causes a lot of fights between the gods. She has a son named Eros, who shoots magical arrows at people to make them fall in love with whomever he wants. Those arrows could also ruin love. Aphrodite values beauty, and loving who you want. She’s also the least loyal girlfriend you’ll ever have.
One of Aphrodite’s most famous story that she was in was where there was a wedding between a shapeshifter and a human, and all of the gods were invited, except for Enid, the goddess of discord. She was still allowed in when she showed up, but she was still offended, and she wanted the people at the wedding to know. So she started doing mischievous things, like making loud noises, breaking things, and stuff like that. But no one seemed to be giving her a lot of attention.
Suddenly, she came up with a great, terrible idea. She got a golden apple and said, ”Whoever is the most beautiful will get this apple!” and she threw the apple towards the other goddesses, and three of them tried to pick up the apple. The three goddesses were Aphrodite, Hera and Athena. They fought over the apple for a while until Hera got angry and called Zeus over to judge who was the most beautiful. He came over and said,”You are all so beautiful, I couldn’t possibly be the one to judge.”
So he goes over to Hermes to find a shepherd boy who is secretly the prince of troy. Hermes comes back with the shepherd boy and he is told what he is supposed to do. And when he starts judging, all of the goddesses bribe him with stuff, Hera bribes him with being the king of Asia, Athena bribes him with being the general of the entire middle east. And finally, Aphrodite bribes him with what men want most, the woman of his dreams. And of course, he picks Aphrodite.
