Melanion was not Aphrodite's friend, so to speak. He was a man who fell in love with Atalanta, but knew that he had no way of beating her in a footrace, which was the requirement in order to marry her. Therefore, he prayed to Aphrodite (in this version of the myth, it is Roman and her name is Venus) for help in winning Atalanta's hand. Because Aphrodite scorned Atalanta for spurning love, she gave Melanion three alluring golden apples, which he used to throw off the race track and distract Atalanta, thereby giving himself enough time to run ahead of her and win the race. In this way Aphrodite helped Melanion, but in no way were they friends. More appropriately, Melanion is Aphrodite's supplicant.
