There are two main birth myths concerning Aphrodite:

-The first says that when Cronus castrated Ouranus and cast his genitals behind him, into the sea. From the sea foam surrounding them emerged Aphrodite, fully developed. Her birthplace was Paphos, Cyprus. This is the most popular version.

-The second says that she was simply the daughter of Zeus and Dione.

Are Aphrodite and Athena sisters?

Well, this answer has two answers, since there are two different accounts of the birth of Aphrodite. The first answer is no. One account on Aphrodite's birth says she was born from the sea foam, so she would have no parents, and of coarse, no siblings. The second answer is yes, Aphrodite and Athena are both sisters. Athena sprang from Zeus's forehead, making him her father. The second account on Aphrodite's birth says that she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. That would make the two goddesses half- sisters.

No. Aphrodite is older than Hera. It's like this. Gaia helped Cronus kill Uranus, and the remains of Uranus formed Aphrodite (gross, but true). Cronus and Rhea THEN gave birth to Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Hera and Demeter.
