I will likely be pretty random in how I update these, so you may miss a new topic if I happen to flip the new flag off a bit early.
1. Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love and beauty. In the story of the Trojan War, the Trojan Paris awarded Aphrodite the apple of discord after judging her to be the most beautiful of the goddesses. She then sided with the Trojans throughout the war.
She is the goddess of pleasure and joy, and a lover of music and dance. 1  She is also the goddess of love and the moon, with an alert cat - its pupils mimicking the waxing and waning of the moon. 2  Her temple at Bubastis was one of the most elegant in Egypt, and the location of joyous festivals.
