Aphrodite | Mythology, Worship, & Art
Aphrodite, ancient Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty, identified with Venus by the Romans. The Greek word aphros means ‘foam,’ and Hesiod relates in his Theogony that Aphrodite was born from the white foam produced by the severed genitals of Uranus after his son Cronus threw them into the sea.
