Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and beauty. She was born of the sea-foam near Paphos, Cyprus, after Cronus castrated Ouranos and threw his genitals into the sea. Erinyes emerged from the blood while Aphrodite arose from the sea.
When she arose, she was hailed as "Cyprian" and is often referred to as such, especially in the works of the poet Sappho. Aphrodite was said to have no childhood, but rather, born adult, nubile, and infinitely desirable. She was vain, ill-tempered, and easily offended. She was one of the few gods to actually have been married, but she was also known to be frequently unfaithful to her husband. Her husband, Hephaestus, was quite the opposite - he was one of the most even-tempered of the Hellenic deities.
Aphrodite was also one of the major players and the cause in the Trojan War, as she helped Paris bring Helen to Troy as soon as he was overcome with a desire to have her the first time he saw her.
