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.
Athena had no true sisters, since she was the only child of Zeus and Metis, but a lot of the other goddesses and demigoddesses were her half sisters. Some of them are Artemis, Aphrodite, Persephone, Helen, and the Nine Muses.
