Aphrodite was the revered ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty, embodying the ideals of passion and allure. The ancient Romans, who greatly admired her attributes, knew her as Venus; her rich mythology is adorned with symbols such as exquisite seashells, gentle doves, graceful swans, and enchanting roses. Frequently, she was depicted in art and literature as a youthful and stunning figure, radiating an irresistible charm. However, beneath her enchanting facade, she could exhibit both generous kindness and sharp vengefulness. Aphrodite was believed to possess the extraordinary ability to interact with humans, wielding her formidable powers to sway the course of events, most notably influencing the fateful Trojan War. According to the renowned poet Homer, Aphrodite was said to be the daughter of the mighty Zeus and the goddess Dione, further cementing her place among the highest echelons of divine beings.
