Ambition:

Personality:
(Aphrodite)She seems to have a very carefree, yet promiscuous outlook on life. In fact, the only thing she cares about is having sex, and is actively neutral in the war waging against the gods. This promiscuous nature is more to do with the fact that she is the Goddess of Love, Beauty, Sexuality and Procreation. She loves making love rather than do anything else. Her only benchmark, it seems, for having intercourse with someone is whether or not she finds the man attractive enough to sleep with her. When she is not making love she can be seen with a wise outlook on most things. Aphrodite usually is the champion of love, most gods or goddess come to her for advice on important matter and to use her as a "consort".
(Venus)Despite this she can be malicious in nature, when she starts to play a "game" with someone or thing, she can be cruel and unforgiving, showing the other side that love and seduction can bring. Sometimes her thirst for power and servicing the ultimate desire surpass all other things. Venus is not a goddess to be triflied with, simply because the phrase "hell hath no furry, like a woman scorned" came from her.

History:
In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of Love, Beauty, Seduction, Pleasure, and Happiness. There is more than one story about her origins. According to Hesiod's Theogony, she was born when Cronus cut off Uranus's genitals and threw them into the sea, and she arose from the sea foam (aphros). According to Homer's Iliad, she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. Because of her beauty, other gods feared that their rivalry over her would interrupt the peace among them and lead to war, so Zeus married her to Hephaestus, who, because of his ugliness and deformity, was not seen as a threat. Aphrodite had many lovers - both gods, such as Ares, and men, such as Anchises. One day, the sun god Helios caught Ares and Aphrodite in their affair. When he told Hephaestus, the smith god decided to plan his revenge. He created an invisible net, which he set over the marriage bed. No sooner had Hephaestus left their home, that Aphrodite called her lover and Ares sneaked into the house and in bed with the naked goddess; but, just in the midst of their lovemaking, at the crucial moment, the net fell upon the two lovers, trapping and immobilizing them, locked in a very private embrace. Hephaestus immediately walked back to his bedchamber with a host of other gods and exhibited them as they were: naked and wrapped in each others arms. Her Roman equivalent is Venus. She has many demigod children.
