The Goddess of lust, Aphrodite Pandemos, the daughter of Zeus and Dione, is a source of constant trouble on Olympus. Having been married off to Hephaestus as an apology for his ill treatment, and in an attempt to prevent any strife over attempts to marry the most beautiful of the Theoi, she flagrantly disregarded the entire affair. The crippled smith was of no interest of her, and instead took her other brother Ares, God of War into her bed. Once, Hephaestus caught them in a net, and shamed them in front of the Olympians, but it was generally agreed that any of the Gods would gladly stomp on Hephaestus' feelings for a chance to spend a night with Aphrodite.

The one individual who Aphrodite did not in some way bring to ruin was her son Aeneas, the Trojan who fled the burning ruins of his city carrying his son and father. She cared for him on the battlefield of Ilium, whisking him away when he almost died, and watching over him, guarding him against the machinations of Hera as he traveled to Italy. Although, this does seem slightly out of character for the Goddess, raising the suspicion that Aeneas may be the son of Aphrodite Ouranos instead.
