In Greek mythology, Aphrodite was the Greek Goddess of beauty and love.[1]
Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus (Vulcan), the blacksmith god.[1] She was also said to be secretly in love with Ares (A.K.A Mars), the god of war.
Being the queen of beauty she had been given the golden apple by Paris, and possessed the power of conferring beauty, by means of her magic girdle, the cestus, on others.[1]
She was the Roman Venus.
