Aphrodite’s story is interesting, starting with her birth. While one story claims she was born of Zeus and Dione, another story is a bit crazier. Remember the story of Cronus successfully castrating Uranus? Well apparently, the blood and removed body parts fell into the ocean. The foam that was created from this gave birth to Aphrodite. (Okay, so maybe this story is more gross than interesting, but still…)

Most people know Aphrodite for her extreme beauty. She had many lovers and the center of her worship was in Corinth.
