Aphrodite is the Goddess of Love and Beauty. She was married to the Smith-God Hephaestus, but she really loved Ares, the God of War. Aphrodite is the most attractive Goddess on Mount Olympus. Her symbols are the seashell and the mirror. Her sacred animal in the dove. Every once a year, she dives in the ocean she came from as Aphrodites she was created from the foam of Ouranos' body on the ocean and floated to the shore on a scallop shell.

Mythology

Zeus feared she would cause war between the Olympians, so he gave her to Hephaestus as a wife. Hephaestus was overjoyed, so he made her matchless jewels and a magical girdle that made her even more beautiful than she already was, which was unwise of him. Aphrodite was vain, however, and disliked his looks, but enjoyed his gift's, though she'd much rather have Ares for a husband. She has no children with Hephaestus but many children with Ares. Hephaestus was constantly trying to capture Ares and Aphrodite together and show it to Zeus.

1981 Aphrodite

In the original movie, she was played by Ursula Andress and is the one to curse Medusa.

2010 Aphrodite

This factor changes in the new adaptation. In the 2010 movie, the writers stayed with the myth having Athena curse Medusa, also, Aphrodite is portrayed by newcomer Agyness Deyn, but still only has a visual presence.
