Earth's artistic depiction of Aphrodite after her birth.

Aphrodite is one of the Lords of Kobol worshiped by Colonials, linked to acts of love and procreation.

In 58 BCH (42YR), Daniel Graystone uses the expression "Sweet Aphrodite" when lambasting Philomon over his fawning of the U-87 Cyber Combat Unit prototype ^{(CAP: "End of Line")}.

Around 1 ACH (2000BYR), Kara "Starbuck" Thrace has two figurines in her locker that she uses in prayer, one of them depicting Aphrodite ^{(TRS: "Flesh and Bone")}.

Following the settlement of New Caprica circa 2 ACH (2001BYR), Nora prays to Aphrodite so that she and Tucker "Duck" Clellan may have a child ^{(TRS: "The Resistance, Episode 3")}.

-===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.
