MYBODY:
 They say no one is perfect? Whoever said that obviously never had the pleasure of meeting Aphrodite. Everything inch of her body is perfection. Being what she is, that is to be expected, but her beauty goes above and beyond even that of a goddess. She has a very thin frame with very feminie curves. In over a thousand years, she has yet to meet someone who didn't want her. Aphrodite is ten times more beautiful than any girl a man can think of. She is the most beautiful goddess in the world.

ABOUTME: 
Aphrodite  had many different sides to her personality. To some she was the sweet laughter loving goddess whom the lonely sought out for help. She was beauty personified, for without her there would be no joy or loveliness. Her every movement filled the air with song.

But some saw her as treacherous and malicious. She was known to have a bewitching power over men that more times than not brought about their own destruction. Ironically, she was wed to Hephaestus, who was lame and considered to be the most unattractive of all the Olympians. This marriage was of no choice of her own, but instead was arranged by Zeus in order to keep Aphrodite out of trouble. The goddess of love did not take her wedding vows very seriously and was accustomed to having many affairs involving both gods and men. A constant companion of Aphrodite was Ares, the god of war.

GOODMEMORY: 
There are quite a few memories for Aphrodite, given her age. But the one that sticks out the most was the day Adonis choose to stay with her instead of Persephone. She loved him very much and she was overjoyed that he wanted to stat with her. 
BADMEMORY: 
When she needed to attend to her duties she left Adonis alone, warning him not to hunt any animal who shows no sign of fear. He didn't listen to her...and when she returned, she came back to a corpse. It was too late and all she could do was mourn over his loss...
HISTORY: 
After Kronos severed Ouranus' body, his genitals created sea foam. From that foam, Aphrodite was born. She later joined the Olympians after Zeus assumed power. Due to her immense beauty, Zeus was frightened that she would be the cause of violence between the other gods. Thus he married her off to Hephaestus, the dour, humorless god of smithing. Unhappy with her arranged marriage, Aphrodite began an affair with the violent but passionate Ares. She also had relationships with various mortals and other gods, resulting in many children.


Aphrodite contributed greatly to the cause of the Trojan War, which lasted ten years and caused the violent downfall of the city of Troy. She bribed Paris, prince of Troy, with the most beautiful woman in the world (Helen), in return for him declaring her the fairest of the goddesses; a title she vied for with Hera and Athena.


Aphrodite supported Troy in the war, and intervened many times on behalf of Paris and her favorite son Aeneas, who was also of Trojan royalty. She also sparked the conflict by causing the already married Helen to fall in love with Paris, and vice versa. Despite the fact that their affair caused the end of Troy, Aphrodite seems to view them as a tragic and sympathetic couple.


Aphrodite was Adonis' lover and a surrogate mother to him. A mortal named Myrrha gave birth to a baby boy named Adonis. Aphrodite happened to be by the Myrrh tree and, seeing him, takes pity on the infant. She places Adonis in a box, and takes him down to Hades so that Persephone can care for him. Adonis grew into a strikingly handsome young man, and Aphrodite eventually returns for him. Persephone, however, loathes to give him up, and wishes Adonis would stay with her in the Underworld. The two goddesses begin such a quarrel that Zeus is forced to intercede. He decrees that Adonis will spend a third of the year with Aphrodite, a third of the year with Persephone, and a third of the year with whomever he wishes. Adonis, of course, chooses Aphrodite.


Adonis begins his year on the earth with Aphrodite. One of his greatest passions is hunting, and although Aphrodite is not naturally a hunter, she takes up the sport just so she can be with Adonis. They spend every waking hour with one another, and Aphrodite is enraptured with him. However, her anxiety begins to grow over her neglected duties, and she is forced to leave him for a short time. Before she leaves, she gives Adonis one warning: do not attack an animal who shows no fear. Adonis agrees to her advice, but, secretly doubting her skills as a huntress, quickly forgets her warning.
Not long after Aphrodite leaves, Adonis comes across an enormous wild boar, much larger than any he has ever seen. It is suggested that the boar is the god Ares, one of Aphrodite's lovers made jealous through her constant doting on Adonis. Although boars are dangerous and will charge a hunter if provoked, Adonis disregards Aphrodite's warning and pursues the giant creature. Soon, however, Adonis is the one being pursued; he is no match for the giant boar. In the attack, Adonis is castrated by the boar, and dies from a loss of blood. Aphrodite rushes back to his side, but she is too late to save him and can only mourn over his body.


On his death, Adonis goes back to the Underworld, and Persephone is delighted to see him again. Eventually, Aphrodite realizes that he is there, and rushes back to retrieve him. Again, she and Persephone bicker over who is allowed to keep Adonis until Zeus intervenes. This time, he says that Adonis must spend six months with Aphrodite and six months with Persephone, the way it should have been in the first place.
