Most people call me Aphrodite, but other names used for me are Anadyomene, Venus, Turan, Inanna/Innina, Astarte/Ashtart, Ishtar, and Kypris. I am the goddess of love, beauty, and desire. Known for my appearance, I am extraordinarily beautiful and possess no physical flaws. I am the epitome of female beauty, the perfect woman. I dress elegantly and LOVE to wear jewelry.
My father is the almighty Zeus and my mother is Dione, one of my father's previous mistresses. My father had many children with women other than my mother, including Apollo, Ares, Dionysus, Hercules, Hermes; Artemis, Athena, Eileithyia, Eris, Hebe, Helen, Pandia, and Persephone. I am married to Hephaestus, my half-brother. I mothered two boys, Eros and Aeneas, who is deceased. Eros, also known as Cupid, is often by my side. He is known for shooting arrows of love. Harmonia is my daughter, and my daughter-in-law is Psyche.
My main strength is the ability to make men fall in love with me. All animals also love me. Although I do not have any physical flaws, I do possess some emotional weaknesses. I am vain, unfaithful, bad-tempered, and jealous. Whenever I see anyone that could be considered more beautiful than me, I either give them a miserable life or kill them with a nasty punishment. During my marriage with Hephaestus, I have had many affairs.

I really liked your post. I think you described yourself and your family very well and in depth and I also agree with you that we are very different in our compassion for others. You seem like you could have any god fall in love with you (probably because you're the goddess of love) and also seem very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou said that you were able to make men fall in love with you easily, but then you also said that cupid was with you a lot of the time. I was just wondering if it was you or him that made men fall in love with you.
ReplyDeleteI have a belt that attracts men to me, so that and my undeniable beauty are what make me so irresistible. My son, Cupid, does not use his powers to benefit me.
