Aphrodite is of the Lords of Kobol, worshiped by modern-day Colonials in the Re-imagined Series.
Her exact function is unclear, however, given the role of Apollo appears to reflect that of Apollo within the Greek Olympian Pantheon, it is probable that she fulfils the same role as the Greek Aphrodite of legend (Flesh and Bone).
Greek Mythology
Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Two accounts of her birth exists in Greek mythology. According to one, she was born full-grown out of sea foam after Cronos cut off the genitals of Uranus and the elder god's blood and semen dripped into the sea. According to Homer's Iliad she was the daughter of the original oracular goddess Dione.
The word aphrodisiac is derived from her name.
