What stories include Aphrodite?

Answer 1

There's the story of how Venus and Mars were trapped under a net by Vulcan, her husband, while having sex. He invited all the Olympians to see them. Another is that all the Olympians were invited to a wedding. Eris wasn't though. She rolled in an apple saying 'To the fairest.' All the goddess thought it should go to them. The list was narrowed the Juno, Minerva, and Venus. Paris, a man from Troy, was the judge. Each bribed him so they could be picked. He went with Venus because she promised him the most beautiful woman on earth, Helen, a married girl. Her husband and brother-in-law raised an army to bring her back thus starting the Trojan War. The story of her birth is somewhat different than the other gods and goddesses. Cronus murdered his father and through his genitals into the ocean. A young, beautiful woman rose from the foam in the sea. Wherever she stepped, flowers bloomed and grass grew. She was assigned to marry Vulcan. She was too proud for everyone else (including Jupiter), so Jupiter handed the ugly, fire god, Vulcan, to her. (That's one theory.)

Answer 2

There are many myths including Aphrodite, but a famous one is how the Trojan war began.

During the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, Eris, goddess of discord, threw a golden apple on the ground marked 'To the Fairest'. She did so because she was angry that she had not been invited. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all stepped forward to claim the apple, and they asked Zeus which of them was the most beautiful. He could not answer the question, so they asked Paris of Troy, for he could judge beauty well. When the lovely goddesses appeared in front of him, they handed him the apple. Hera promised Paris if he gave her the apple, she would make him a great king, Athena promised him great wisdom, but Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris, being obsessed in good looks, gave the apple to Aphrodite. She followed through with her promise, but the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, was married to Menelaus, king of Sparta. Aphrodite and Paris went to Helen, where she was alone and used magic to make her fall deeply in love with Paris. They easily took her over to Troy, where she became Helen of Troy. Menelaus, seeing Helen taken across the sea to Troy, mustered his armies and sailed over to Troy to retrieve her, starting the Trojan war.

There are also many other stories, but this is a famous one.
