In Greek mythology, Aphrodite was the Greek Goddess of beauty and love.[1] She was called Venus by the Romans, after the evening star (which we know today is a planet called Venus).
Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus (Vulcan), the blacksmith god.[1] She was also said to be secretly in love with Ares (A.K.A Mars), the god of war.
Being the queen of beauty she had been given the golden apple by Paris, and possessed the power of conferring beauty, by means of her magic girdle, the cestus, on others.[1]
