Eros Aphrodites son and constant companion. Born from her affair with Ares A boy with wings and bow and arrows as well as a flaming torch Roman name-Cupid

Aphrodites Temple The priestesses were not considered prostitutes. Temple prostitution was when the priestesses had intercourse with a man who would pay The offerings would go to benefit the temple Women would do this so Aphrodite would bless them with large families.

Hermaphrodite Cleverly named child of Hermes and Aphrodite Nymph saw Hermaphrodite bathing and fell in love Prayed to gods they would never be separated Gods granted her wish and bonded them together

Pygmalion King of Cyprus Angered at immorality of women Created ivory statue of his ideal woman that Aphrodite granted life to This formed the basis of the play Pygmalion and the musical My Fair Lady

Anchises He was a mortal man, making it inappropriate for Aphrodite to pursue him Had a form of a god Prince of territory nearby Troy Would later be carried out of Troy after its fall

Adonis and Aphrodite Aphrodite fell in love with him after Zeus put the desire in her heart Aphrodite could no longer boast She went to him dressed her best, but disguised her goddess self Walk to his cabin where he let her into his house

The Happily ever After Aphrodite gave birth to a child Told Anchises her real identity There son was raised by nymphs and then given to their father Prevented him from telling anybody about it He bragged about it anyways Became lame as punishment

Other interesting facts Adonis, who she would later fall in love with, was her great-great grandson Had many love affairs, cheating several times on Hephaestus His wife only so Zeus could keep the peace Remained however, a virgin goddess
