OD+Religion+and+Mythology+Aphrodite

===Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and beauty, She was born when Cronus overthrew his father Uranus(father of the gods), when Cronus overthrew Uranus he cut of Uranus's testicles and tossed them into the sea, when he did this the sea began to foam and bubble, from this came Aphrodite.===

Aphrodite was very proud of her beauty and if anyone claimed to be more beautiful than her they would fell her full anger.
===After Aphrodite was born Zeus was worried that the other gods would fight for her hand in marriage so he married her to the smith god Hephaestus, who couldn't believe his luck, he was so happy that he made her beautiful jewellery, one of the pieces a girdle made of finely worked gold and it had magic woven into it. Aphrodite, already being irresistibly beautiful became even more irresistible and after a while she became fed up with her being so beautiful and being married to a poor, hard working Hephaestus.===
