Aphrodite

Aphrodite (Αφροδίτη in Ancient Greek) is the goddess of love. Her Roman counterpart is Venus.

[edit] History
She is the child of Zeus and Hera, and Percy's cousin. Due to her immense beauty, Zeus was frightened that she would be the cause of violence between the other gods. He married her off to Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths.

Reason of this story, Hera, Hephaestus's mother, had cast him off Olympus; deeming him ugly and deformed. His revenge was to trap her in a magic throne, and then to demand Aphrodite's hand in return for Hera's release. Hephaestus was overjoyed at being married to the god of love and forged her beautiful jewelry, including the Cestus, a magical girdle that made her even more irresistible to men. Her unhappiness with her marriage caused Aphrodite to seek out companionship from others, most frequently Ares, but also Adonis.

[edit] The Trojan War
Aphrodite was the cause of the Trojan War, a war that lasted ten years and was the end of the city of Troy. Eris, the god of chaos, or King Peleus and Thetis are also fairly known as being the cause. She caused this by bribing Paris, prince of Troy, with the most beautiful woman in the world (Helen), in return for him declaring her the fairest of three gods; Hera, Athena, and herself.
