Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love. She was originally married to Hephaestus, but did not love him. Her main love was Ares, but she had other loves and children by them as well. She ended up in Cypris. Her daughter Beroe-Amymone was wooed by both Poseidon and Dionysus but ended up marrying Poseidon.
She was the daughter of Zeus and Dione. There was another woman named Aphrodite who was a daughter of Uranus and went by the name Ashtaroeth, too. This leads to the confusion as to the birth of Aphrodite since there were two of them.
