Aphrodite was not called Aphrodite to the Romans, their goddess Venus was much like her Greek counterpart. There is much confusion to which myths were originally Roman, and which were Greek as Venus is spoken of as Aphrodite is to the Romans, so it must be assumed there was a myth were her father was Jove or Jupiter, and her Dione her mother; or of Uranus.
