- Okay, so maybe Dionysus was a little more complicated than we expected. But APHRODITE? REALLY?? All she does is set up cute couples and throw temper tantrums! How complicated can SHE be?

Quick edit! Saw some comments cranky I didn't mention Cyprus. Sorry, guys, I only had so much time, and Cythera is physically the location of her oldest temple and the origin of her worship in ancient greece. Cyprus is sometimes seen as her birthplace, but it varies from myth to myth. Since I was covering the historical spread of her worship, I figured the REAL birthplace of her cult was worth more focus than the fictional one. 😉

*GET THIS COMMENT UP THERE*
I feel like expecting THAT kind of philosophical consistency from Athenians is just going a wee bit too far.
Diogenes excepted, of course.
Spartans would probably say Athenians aren't real men.
Well, all is fair in love and war!
Okay but actually though having a "Who's the hottest goddess?" contest and being surprised/upset someone chose the goddess of beauty and love is like having a "who's the best at hunting?" contest and being surprised that Artemis won. Like, I get it, having three women asking you who's the most attractive is a no win scenario, but still
Actually, I read that the Greeks considered Hera to be the most beautiful goddess. Which arguably does make sense, since she's the queen of the gods. Plus, several myths would have people declaring a certain woman is more beautiful than Aphrodite, suggesting that the Greeks believed she could be surpassed in the looks department.
afaik the "hottest goddess" is an interpretation, its equally valid to expand the adjective to define the "best" goddess or some other positive quality, so it makes more sense aphrodite wasn't the clear winner. also, the person above me had a good responses.
It's less "Is Aphrodite hot" and more "Do I want to anger the goddess of war and the queen of the gods?"
Yeah, just to pile on to what everybody else was already saying... Her being the goddess of love doesn't mean she's the goddess of anything associated with love. E.g. she's certainly not the goddess of faithfulness or stable relationships...
@@greenredblue She the goddess of love and beauty in a beauty contest. It wasn't a question of "who's the most faithful" or "who has the most stable relationships" (which, let's be real, is almost no one in Greek mythology)

tbh a lot of the celestial parts of the Iliad are the other gods complaining that Zeus lets Athena do whatever she wants because she's his favorite. There's even a part that's literally the Gordon Ramsay "oh precious/you donkey" meme with Athena and Ares.

Zeus: "You're asking me to judge between my sister-wife, my daughter, and my niece?"

Actually, I believe Aphrodite is technically Zeus’ aunt.
@@wooyeah1738It depends. In the Hesiod she's born from Uranus' severed genitals, while in the Illiad she's Zeus' daughter with Dione.
Jamestown Sorry, Yeah. I just often prefer the idea that she’s made the way the Hesiod describes it, because A, it’s an interesting idea of what happened to the original dead daddy, and B, it makes it a tiny bit less weird that Zeus wants to get it on with her, because it’s not father and daughter anymore. It’s still weird, but less weird.
@@wooyeah1738 Zeus never did it with Aphrodite

Athens: *at Aphrodite* you can't be the goddess of war, that's wrong you are a woman
Athena: *stares blankly at the city-state named after her*
Athena: *Maybe if I give them an olive tree they won't notice.*
Its not that she couldnt be a war goddess because she's a woman but rather because she's a goddess of war AND sex, which remove life and take it respectively, thus the inherent contradiction
@@averonisgaming9023 so basically being the goddess of war and sex cancels each other out
@@averonisgaming9023 I find that love in of itself is a battle
Athena would probably agree
If Aphrodite was a real person she’d either be that “YOU JUST GOT MARRIED? WHEN ARE YOU GONNA HAVE KIDS?!” person or the “So I just set you up on a date with this random discord mod :3”
Why not both?
She wouldn't be the person to say, “YOU JUST GOT MARRIED? WHEN ARE YOU GONNA HAVE KIDS?!”
She would immediately jump "WHEN ARE YOU GONNA HAVE GRAND KIDS?!"
she seems much more motherly in the modern hellenist view, maybe the centuries have mellowed her out..?
"The goddess of beauty and sex being simultaneously a goddess of war was... unlikely to bother the Spartans."
A fantastic understatement.

@@dungeonmaster3464 I've personally heard at least a dozen different variations on it including "bed, wed, behead", "snuggle, snog, stab", and all combinations of "fuck, marry, kill", "marry, fuck, kill" and "kill, fuck, marry".

Let's face it, Paris picked what he believed to be the least dangerous option, but forgot to take into account that this was Aphrodite he was dealing with...
*- Ruler of half a continent?* Assassinations and politics sound fun?
*- Wisdom and battle strategies?* Guess who's now responsible for the entire army?
*- Hot girlfriend?* Maybe some jealous guys, but at least it's not a war, right?
Hehe, right...?
My interpretation is that Paris thought he was in the wrong genre. Everybody who's ever read a fairy tale knows that pursuing power and knowledge is dangerous and amoral, but pursuing love makes you the good guy. Unfortunately, Ancient Greece works on different rules.
@@augustrempelewert4377 I think it was just a matter of education. Due to backstory, Paris had been raised by shepherds. If he'd been properly educated, he'd have recognized that he had the starring role in a Greek tragedy.
Paris is just a guy who had to choose. Remember Zeus not only pushed the responsibility to him but also bear the consequence.
I mean, Athena and Hera are dangerous enemies, but Aphrodite is so petty she'll straight up kill you. Athena doesn't seem like the revenge type to me, and maybe Zeus could convince Hera out of revenge?
@@mckenziebate2949 Hercules?
I almost wonder if her "Aphrodite Areia" epithet might have influenced her trysts with Ares. As a Goddess of Love and War, it'd be unsurprising that she'd also be down for some fun for the native Greek God of War.
Yeah and then she could take advantage of her husband to make weapons
Considering a lot of Ishtar and Ereshkigal's myths get sewn together, and Ereshkigal shacked up with the god of war and plague, and Aphrodite is kinda-sorta Ishtar...makes sense.
Mythology is weird, yo.
@@ave8685, that's actually what nearly happened with Athena and Hephaestus, but then Aphrodite came along and saw what fine work he could do for her jewelry. Aphrodite Areia only met Ares, so he'd probably be her provider of that kind of thing.
@@kyuven
^ This! Mythology gets weird the more you go down into the rabbit hole.
@@glasscardproductions4736 Athena and Hephaestus never had intimate relations, kinda defeats the virgin goddess thing. He tried to assault her once which ended up impregnating Gaia and Athena raised the subsequent child but that's the closest thing to happen. Not sure about the jewelry bit, I've only seen versions where Zeus sets them up out of fear or some similar negative emotion of Aphrodite.

"Let's be real, having the goddesses of rulership and battle tactics opposing you in a war is not a good thing."

@@dungeonmaster3464 but i much prefer to see her graceful beauty traits while elegantly joining the war its like her character in smite uwu

But then again Aphrodite Areia was very niche back then
Venus ultimately won that conflict when Rome annexed the bickering Greek city states and rendered them largely irrelevant for the next 1000 years.
The thing that confuse me the most is there are so many goddesses whose concepts are 'political power , warfare , military tactics , wisdom , philosophy etc' yet women were almost always never allowed to have any political power , education , ownership of themselves.
True that
The only women who received education, ownership and to some extent political and military power were the wives and mothers of either kings, nobles, or very wealthy merchants.
Could be a remnant of older matriarchal civilizations' pantheons that adapted into patriarchal classical societies?
And almost all of those goddesses lost those epithets over time (with exceptions like Hera becoming Juno and MORE associated with the military)
Because the Greeks thought that was dangerous. They didn't think women lacked competence but did think they were more impulsive, lustful and could get more easily fanatical in support of sons in particular. Romans exploited this belief in a very clever way by making Aneas their founder. Both Carthage & Athens are founded by women in myth.
Educated women were extremely common in the upper classes because she had to run things when men were off at war. Sparta is the extreme example but it was true in other places too. But they were far less common in middle classes in part because education was wildly expensive and women died in childbirth a lot. When a high proportion of men died in battle even in middle age this was less of an issue. But in general as societies lost from-the-front battlefield leaders, and put only poor young men into the fight at the front, even educated women lost status to the extreme of Victorian Age. There are now enough upper class older men at home out of the fight to run things as trustees or whatever. And they are far more likely to return from the war as well.

Actually in Spartan Culture the wife/mother of the household is often revered. They were said to have political power and were the ones in charge back home. I read somewhere that a Spartan's biggest disgrace is being divorced by their wife.
So Aphrodite in Sparta being a War-Mother as well as Love/Fertility makes perfect sense.

Aphrodite Areia, literally the second Zeus' back is turned: *"Just as planned."*
I like this one. Though, I kind of think that part of the reason Aphrodite messes with everyone is that she was ticked that her Goddess of War status was taken from her
All the Greek gods have DID then
Could even take this further. All part of the plan to forge herself an empire based on her son, What with Aeneas and all.
@@kingofthings7929 few century later Rome pops up
Aphrodite/Venus with ominous Kira face: Just as Planed ;)
Alternatively, she caused the Trojan War, but had historians write that dialogue to trick everyone into thinking she _couldn’t possibly_ be behind it.
Honestly, I always imagined that Persephone's relationship with Adonis was that of a protective mother keeping Aphrodite from ruining her hot baby boy and getting into violent fist fights with Aphrodite.
I like that interpretation as well. Since mythology is innately flexible, I like to headcanon a lot of things. Specifically, I enjoy adopting Persephone's character from the Hades video game.
In the game, Persephone initially struggles to conceive (it's a central part of her character in that game, especially because her first child is stillborn), so logically, she would jump at the opportunity to become a mother, even an adopted one. I imagine that her love for Adonis was less romantic and more maternal while Aphrodite's was much more carnal/lustful with her affection.
Same lol
I think it's funny that the Golden Apple competition started when Achilles' Parents got married, and ended many years later when Achilles had been born, grown up, and become a famous warrior. That means that Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena all fought over a stupid beauty contest for at least 20 YEARS.
I just realized that timeline makes no sense 💀

Two things that occurred to me that I’m pretty sure aren’t in the video
1. While Aphrodite’s direct war connections were erased, they lived on in her romance with Ares, something that likely didn’t exist in the precursor dirties where she was the goddess of war.
2. Zeus’ comment about Aphrodite not belonging on the battlefield might have served a dual purpose in also suggesting that love didn’t have a place on the battlefield, either between sides or also possibly to encourage the very gay greeks to not seek out romance with the other soldiers and disrupt the larger structure of loyalty in the army.
Err re 2 the Greeks in this era saw comradely love relationships as essential to keeping a tight phalanx. Not disruptive as the tactics were collective & absolutely rigid. Pun intended.

Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus, true, but people seem to forget that she was FORCED to marry Hephaestus when Hera was fused to a cursed throne, that he made as payback for throwing him like he was last week's mushu pork. Not only that, but some tellings say that she didn't really like Hephaestus that much, even though Hephaestus treated her well. So when she started sleeping with Ares, she was bummed out because Hephaestus was always busy at his forge instead of spending time with his wife. Also, she presided over beauty, so she appreciated all kinds of beauty (take the tale of Pygmalion), including male beauty, which, to Aphrodite, Ares was a picture perfect example of. In the end, Ares and Aphrodite were a better match for each other. Also, if anyone knows anything about being an unfaithful spouse, it's Zeus.

I feel like the most consistent thing about Aphrodite is that she is completely based around and driven by EMOTION. Any emotion, love, grief, whatever she feels at the moment is her sole drive. I like to believe that she just represents emotions as a whole, but specifically in the Love/Envy Lust/Disgust emotional circles.
And that is why I relate to and favor Aphrodite above the other Greek/Roman gods, because (partially bc of neurodivergency) I am driven by emotion and just like Aphrodite, my emotions are dysregulated and can get me into trouble because my emotions are much stronger than the situation would allow in most occasions.
I also look like Aphrodite's common depictions, so that might be a factor lol. But If I were to choose a patron goddess, it would be her.

Rewatching this I suddenly realized something. The fact Aphrodite had an epitaph of war is why she frequently hooked up with Ares the God of War. This was probably a form protest to keep the idea of love and war being linked still tied to Aphrodite.
Hm. Interesting observation.
You know, it might seem random to have a deity for boinking and fighting. But if I'm just speculating, the common thread of those two activities are PASSION, right? If you want to kill or sleep with a person, you are probably not emotionally distant about that fact.
Also note that Ares is the more primal, aggressive aspect of war, as opposed to Athena being the goddess of strategy and tactics.
I see absolutely no problem with Aphrodite being a little..well, confused in terms of personality because she’s a love goddess. Love is incredibly fickle and subject to heavy variation.

papuruheizu. Ya know when I first saw this I had no idea what ur comment meant,but now I have da knowledge, of my hero academia
Now I'm just imagining a scene in some mythology-based fiction that goes like:
Eros: (backed into a corner by some incredibly dangerous and powerful force) I didn't want to have to do this... but you've left me with no choice. (takes a deep breath) MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Aphrodite: (materializes behind said threat and painfully grips their shoulder) Tell me... are you familiar with the phrase, *"love hurts?"*
I love this tell me more
Proceeds to sick like a entire town of love sick/enraged humans onto that force, then when that doesn't work just proceeds to go into war mode and absolutely destroys the enemy
So your saying Eros is a stand user????
*APHRODITE AREIA INTENSIFIES*
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN SUMN OMG MAYBE OLYMPUS LORE
This one, Dionysus, Loki, and Persephone and Hades videos are my favourite. Love looking at all the history and syncretism.
Thinking of Aphrodite as a war goddess puts a slightly different perspective on the Judgement of Paris. He has to choose not between three powerful goddesses, but between three powerful WAR goddesses. No matter who he chose, it was going to end in conflict.
...wait, she was never a child.
She. Was. Never. A. Child.
That... that explains it, that explains why she just does not understand why actions have consequences. SHE NEVER LEARNED THIS GROWING UP BECAUSE SHE NEVER DID!
Other Greek gods may have their petty moments, but their actions rarely have such terrible consequences to so many people, because they know better.
Aphrodite is just a woman child. It all makes sense now!
Athena turned out fine. Go back to your fanfiction and intro lit classes.
I mean you could say the same with Athena but she is mostly the more mature one. Plus I'm pretty most of the Greek gods were just childish whether or not they grew up. Hermes stole cattle after a few days he was born
@@MrAcuriteOf1337 Yeah, Athena came out of Zeus's head as an adult LONG after he swallowed her mother, implying that she was born and grew up before that point, being raised by a very smart titaness.
@@ajomobaker8694 Oh, I don't deny being childish. But Hermes figured out that actions had consequences and figured out ways to lessen them. He used the guts of one of the cows to make the first lyre, and later traded that to Apollo, not only making him less mad, but also getting a sweet staff out of it. Aphrodite doesn't do that stuff.
Athena was also the goddess of wisdom and could probably see the consequences of her actions easier
“Aphrodite thinks a ship is cute and makes it canon without regard to consequences” - LOL!!
literally me with fanfics lmao
Mina!!
Aphrodite and I wouldnt get along
Im such an overthinker
Aphrodite is basically the personification of every teenage girl except that she has lovecraftian powers
Aphrodite: Eros! Why haven't you shot Sonic with an arrow while he's near Amy yet?!
Eros: I'm sorry, mother, but he's just too fast for me to land a hit! Hermes must have given him a boon at birth.
Aphrodite: Fine! Then I'll take matters into my own hands! You WILL love Amy, Sonic; you WILL!!! Ahahahahahaha!
Eros: Um... mother?
"All is fair in love and war" A goddess of both would be fairest of them all - Aphrodite probably

Yes
They didn't mention Freya (probably for a matter if geography), but she was also a goddess of love, beauty and war.
@@brinaf2857 there's also Benzaiten, who's also a goddess of love, beauty, and war. And coincidentally, a sea-spawn

"Zeus realizing there's no save answer to that question, pawns the responsibility off on some random trojan kid."
At first I wondered why the head God would even worry about his safety but then I realised that the godesses in question were the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy, his wife, and a godess who's arguably the most powerful in the pantheon as she has power over love and lust, Zeus's biggest weakness
Damn. Scariest fucking combo I can imagine.
Zeus wasn't that powerful. Only thing that kept other Olympians from overtaking him was essentially their petty arguments and the lack of motivation.
@@nyetloki lol. But he was still clearly more powerful than his kids like Apollo. His siblings are probably on par with him in terms of power
Also. He may not have wanted to upset his daughter(athena), wife(hera)(side note she was amazing at revenge!), or his aunt(aphrodite)(I think she is his aunt...thats what I gather from the family tree, as she is the sister of Zeus's father Kronos via the "bath bomb ball sack" story.)
@@stephaniekrutzler7895 aphrodite is sometimes his aunt and sometimes his daughter.
if you go by the ouranos' balls falling into the sea and aphrodite being born from it, that means shes his aunt.
if you go by her being the daughter of zeus and dione then shes his daughter.
I agree with the comments above. Zeus wasn't really that powerful, and there's a good reason he would fear Aphrodite since his weakness was very apparent to everyone who knew about his "love escapades". But he was still the king of Olympus for a reason. He was one of the most powerful gods: Having the power over storms and lightning is a very scary thought (we all know that mother nature is scary, and storms are no exception). The only ones I can think of that would oppose him with equal (or more) power would be the Titans of higher rank (at least the ones left alive, like Gea, who is literally goddess of the Earth itself) and his siblings, like Poseidon and his very own wife Hera. (I don't know if Hades counts, he may be the god of the underworld but his powers over death aren't really effective against immortals gods. That would explain why he hasn't stood against Zeus despite disagreeing with him many times.)
The one exception to this would be Athena, and there's an entire mythos behind her explaining why despite being so powerful (to the point where she could actually beat Zeus) she doesn't try to dethrone him. It's basically the fact that she's a woman (misogynistic ancient Greece at it again). Apparently Prometheus' prediction (or at least one of them), was that the child of Zeus with more equal power to him would defeat him, and who has more equal power to him than Athena? She was literally born ONLY through him, without any mother (the whole coming out of his head myth). But apparently Prometheus specified that the child had to be a SON, so females were out of the question. This is the card that Zeus and other gods played to tell Athena that, because she's a woman, she doesn't have the right to dethrone him. Her response to this not-a-man counter attack varies from many interpretations of the Olympic mythos. The most preferred one nowadays is that she knew she couldn't do anything because most of the gods were already approving the prophecy that it had to be a male descendant, so if she tried to defy Zeus anyway, she would have a good chunk of powerful gods against her. She knew a war against a bunch of all-powerful inmortal beings would end VERY badly. So she "agreed" to not be the child that Prometheus said would dethrone Zeus, but that didn't stop her from becoming one of the most venerated gods through just intelligence and wits. Many people have theorized that yes, Athena really was more powerful than Zeus, and could've dethroned him anytime she wanted, but she didn't do it because she was smart: She knew she would be outnumbered if she tried to defy him, so she tried to strategically "beat" Zeus by gaining the respect and love of the mortals in numbers, somehow "beating" him in being the most respected god of all. And you could say she succeeded, since Wisdom and War were VERY important for both greeks and romans.
Obviously there's way more depth an details to this story, but this comment is already way to long.
Anyone ever notice how Inanna is literally Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera all in one, and Paris’ choice was picking the Mother out of the Maiden (virgin Athena) Mother (Aphrodite) Crone (Hera older wise but jealous)?
Or as Granny Weatherwax would say, "The Maiden, the Mother, and the Other One." (Granny being the Other One.)
but isn't the maiden-mother-crone triple a celtic concept?
@@irishmanfromengland25 not necessarily. The trinity has been found in eastern cultures as well like Brahma Vishnu Shiva or Parvati Durga Kali. But just like in Hindu they all come from one source
@@psychicserena111siderealas8 a group of three deities isn't a maiden-mother-crone triple.
but I'm also wrong, having just looked it up, apparently Hera was worshiped as a girl, a wife, and a widow in Stymphalos, which is almost exactly maiden-mother-crone.
@@irishmanfromengland25 yeah absolutely not exactly the maiden mother crone, but the triple worship still focuses on the journey of that archetype through its cycles and stages. Maiden mother crone is just one way of labeling them in the trinity, but it still translates pretty well when talking about other cultures and religions besides celtic

there was a male hunter of artemis? Dang that's freaking awesome.

@@DinsRune yep!
damn i wish i could be a male hunter of artemis, would it count since im ftm... would i be allowed
When you think about the fact that Aphrodite was originally a War Goddess her affair with Ares makes abit more sense now
I wish the video on the affair with Ares had been done before this, cause the most explained version of what happened there is that Aphrodite wasn't married to Hephaestus of her own will and was _already_ having a steamy affair with Ares to begin with. So if anything, she wasn't cheating on Hephaestus with Ares, but rather she was forced to cheat on Ares with Hephaestus. Based on the rest of the info in this video, I wouldn't be surprised if the Spartans originally viewed her as a partner or even consort to Ares, and the rest of Greece bastardized this relationship as "well we say she was married to someone else so the slut was cheating with him". I could absolutely see the Athenians doing that.
Aphrodite to the Aromantic Asexual hunters of Artemis:
"Am I a joke to you?"
Thalia : yes.
Wait which goddess was lesbian I thought it was like artemis or Athena
@@alienindisguise5546 artemis was most commonly regarded as an asexual aromantic virgin. the reasoning for this is that she swore off love and sex entirely, to be a maiden goddess of hunting (and eventually the moon). however, in some versions of greek mythology, Artemis only swore off men... and in fact had many lesbian nymph lovers (one of them being Callisto, who was later turned into the constellation Ursa Major after Zeus shapeshifted into Artemis and tricked her into having lesbian sex with him that... somehow resulted in a pregnancy??).
tl;dr: it depends on which myths ur reading
and also - no goddesses were really all that explicitly 100% lesbian, i'm afraid. there are heaps of greek stories about homosexual men, but much fewer about homosexual women. callisto definitely, athena was said to be attracted to a girl once, and sometimes aphrodite was said to be a patron of lesbianism/bisexuality, but there's nothing really concrete (although mythology is never concrete)
And no a very fun one
@@carlosroo5460 and dionysus was semi androgenous meaning that he had majority male traits but he also had some female traits that made him distinct from the rest of the gods

If I were Paris, I would’ve gone with Athena’s deal. I’d get smarter and would basically be among the greatest tacticians on the planet. So I’d basically be capable of conquering lands like Europe and Asia with my armies, and potentially getting the most beautiful woman in the world as war spoils. So I’d get everything they all offered.
You'd also get cursed to oblivion by two of the most vindictive goddesses in the Pantheon.
Might go with hera on this one just because i dont want to be cursed by her
Dude look up Aphrodite and Hera's wrathful curses & revenge takings. Athena by contrast can just make you lose fights which isn't even evil since all fights have a losing side anyway.
Eros: You are weak.
Aphrodite: I am you but more angry, flirtatious and impulsive
Aphrodite is just like that one hot nerd that loves shipping, sucks at relationships, but is great at advise and protection
and might also cause drama all the time

@@broseidon1658 STAY BACK YOU UNHOLY BEING
You know, re-watching this (look, I like it okay), it hit me. It many ways, Aphrodite could more accurately be called a goddess of passion, rather than just love/sex. Love, sex, war, and even politics (at the time especially) could be considered endeavors requiring passion. It even explains her connection to Hephaestus, since craftsmen would also be passionate about their works. When looked at that way, the contradictions kind of fade away.
I wonder if the confusion might have been a translation issue? As the cults migrated, they would have shifted languages as they went. So maybe in Cult A, they mistranslated a word that means passion into one that is more frequently used for love/sex, while Cult B kept to the more general translation. I'm just throwing this out there, since I have no research to back it up. But it certainly seems possible, especially when you consider modern language drift due to slang and the like.
I like that theory.
x@@eclipsemoons6557
No, it wasn't.
"Passion" is any feeling, not only the romantic/sexual one.
Is any of our animal urges from deep within, including rage, fear, saddness, joy, etc.
Things we supposedly suffer. It's imposed to us by a "higher power" (gods, nature, genes, geniuses, etc.) and we have little or no control about.
@Mullerornis But cults still need to talk to each other. I'm not talking about written texts necessarily. Spoken languages would still need to be translated too. An Assyrian would not speak the same language as a Macedonian, for example. So in trying to communicate, errors occur.
Genius. That'd also explain why Eros is more specifically about love.
It seems pretty convinient and understandable how love and sexuallity are linked to power and war, but also to impulsivity
So... Aphrodite seems pretty coherent to me
I've always liked the interpretation that she knew exactly what she was doing when she started the Trojan War.
"bath bomb ballsack" is a sentence I never thought I would hear.
Why were you thinking that?
At least not on this channel.
Its the best type of bath bomb for guys and lesbians, because when you throw it into the water, not only do you get a spectacular blast of color, you also get a beautiful girl.

*How the fight went between Aphrodite and Persephone:*
Aphrodite: OH he's HOT NOW! Can I have him bAAAACK?
Persephone, worrying about what Aphrodite will do with her adopted child: Oh HELL nAH!!
I researched a bit about the fight and they said that Persephone fell in love with Adonis and that Zeus had to mediate that 1/2 of the year Adonis would be with Aphrodite and the other half with Persephone, but Adonis likes his Mother(Aphrodite) that he just stayed with her. In one version, Persephone got jealous and sent a boar and killed him. In another version, the boar was Ares and in others Artemis killed Adonis. They were pretty complicated.
@@dite898 Aphrodite is not Adonis's mother.
*Oh Hades naw. Please refrain from making this mistake in the future, not trying to be rude.
Adonis was born when his mother seduced his grandfather.
Persephone banged Adone in all versions of the myth, so pretty much no
She didn't have a childhood? That explains a lot.
Talk about the daddy issues while your at it lol.
In a way they are the two extremes. One who is pure maturity and rules, and the other is a immature party girl. (I know this is star from accurate. I'm just using the base impressions of these goddesses so this isnt as long as the video itself.)
Honestly the only goddesses whose childhood is really emphasized are Artemis, (whose virgin hunter aspect means she’s frequently depicted as a young girl) and sometimes Persephone (often she’s kidnapped by Hades while still young, representing the youthful qualities of Spring.)
By contrast many of the male gods have stories about them as youths, though Dionysus definitely has the most defined childhood since he spent most of it as a mortal and adventuring like any good demigod should do.
@LagiNaLangAko23 yeah but she could have gained knowledge while she was in their. I mean most of the gods were in kronos body since birth. They grew up and where knowledgeable. Aphrodite was brought up from seafoam. Dionysus and athena were stuck in zues it doesn't mean they were without knowledge.

I find it very fun that Venus got named after a goddess inspired by a goddess inspired by the goddess of Venus.
