Goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and passion. Her main powers catered towards love and desire which allowed her to easily seduce any person of her choosing. She was the subject and model for the famous sculpture 'Venus de Milo'. Aphrodite was directly responsible for the Trojan war. She sided with the Trojans in the Trojan War because Paris and her son, the hero Aeneas, were Trojans. She also persuaded the god of war, Ares, to support Troy during the war. In book III of Homer's Iliad, it is told that Aphrodite eventually saves Paris when Menelaus is about to kill him.
