Aphrodite, otherwise known by her Roman name, Venus, is the goddess of love, desire and beauty. Apart from her natural beauty, she also had a magical girdle that compelled everyone to desire her.There are two accounts of her birth. According to one, she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione the mother goddess worshipped at the Oracls of Dodona. However, the other account, which is better known, informs us that she arose from the sea on a giant scallop. Aphrodite then walked to the shore of Cyprus. In a different version of the myth, she was born near the island of Cythera.
