-==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.
