Unlike Roman religion, which borrowed from Greek myth extensively and has clear equivalents to Hellenic deities, Norse religion developed in isolation from Greek and Roman mythos. There is no clear equivalent to Venus (who was a Roman goddess, equivalent to Aphrodite in Greek myths) in Norse mythology.
However, as a goddess of love, beauty and sexuality, she has a strong semblance to Freyja, who serves all the same functions in the Norse pantheon.
