Goddess of love and beauty
Aphrodite by Addysen Clyde
Aphrodite
I chose Aphrodite because she represents love, desire, and beauty. My favorite thing she represents is beauty. Her symbols are the dove, sparrow, and a rose. My favorite symbol is the rose. Aphrodite was known to be the best looking goddess. She was always said to be dressed nice. She also loved wearing jewelry. She is an immortal goddess. Immortal means always living ; never dying or decaying. Her parents could be Zeus and Dionne, but some say she rose from the sea. Not everyone agrees with Zeus and Dionne being her parents, so most go with her rising from the sea. In my personal opinion I believe she rose from the sea. She also had several kids, seven to be exact, with her spouse Hephaestus. Although she was not loyal to Hephaestus.
