Mythology Posters: Aphrodite was the Greek Goddess of Love, Beauty, Pleasure and Procreation, arising from the sea foam after Cronus threw Ouranos’s genitals into the sea. As he feared the rivalry for her favour would lead to war, Zeus had her married to Hephaestus, but she had many lovers, mortals and gods alike, like Ares and Adonis. She played a critical role in bringing about the Trojan War by promising Paris the love of Helen, and her son, Aeneas, along with his followers, would travel to Italy and become Rome’s progenitor.
