Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty, and desire, born from the sea-foam where the severed sky fell to the water. Irresistible and dangerous, she stirs passion in gods and mortals alike and bends even the mighty to her will. Her gift of Helen to Paris ignites the Trojan War, and her loves, from Ares to Adonis, weave through the great tragedies and triumphs of myth.
