Aphrodite is an old god from Greece who rules over all things beautiful in the world.
Her name is derived from the Greek word aphros, which means foam. She was said to have been born from the ocean waves, already a fully formed adult. The golden daughter of Zeus, she presides over all things that have beauty in the world. However, she has a destructive side that seems to delight in the power her beauty allows her to weld over men. Aphrodite also has the power to drive away storms and calm the winds. Some say that she is the wife of Hephaestus, blacksmith of the gods. It is strange that the ugliest of the Old Gods should win for his bride one of the most beautiful. Or perhaps she used her allure to bind him to her in order to gain some as of yet undiscovered advantage.
