Aphrodite was Zeus's aunt, not his daughter.

Hera stayed cursing everybody but the people responsible 🙄😒

[bloodoftheunicorns]

Aphrodite was a titan and has two fathers. She was born from the blood/sperm and sea foam, from the primordial sky & primordial sea. This is the original origin of Aphrodite but later versions changed heritage. The probable reasoning for this change is politically motivated like in Christianity.

Damn that make’s his sister, mom, and daughter this man’s lust has no ends

[Xlxlxlx]

Aphrodite isn't Zeus's daughter

[Delusionalhoes]

I didn’t know abt aphrodite, I did know abt Persephone…twice

[diyamanthiekanayake]

Aphrodite was the first born in Olympus gods. She is the oldest and she was born from the sea. she is also known as a venues. Zeus is her brother or nephew I guess.

The video is wrong! Hephestus or Vulcanus in Latin was the ugly god. He was Heras son and she was disgusted by his ugliness and threw him from Olympus so Zeus his father gave him Afrodite as a wife because from the fall he got stuck with a limp! Actually Afrodite was born by Uranus' s pens οr Crocus's penis when it was amputated by Cronus in the first case and Zeus in the second case! Please have some respect for Greek Mythology.

She wasn't his daughter. Aphrodite was the daughter of o Titan.

[Dragonhex]

Aphrodite is made from the remains of Uranus (one spelling). If anything, she’s HIS daughter- although of course not a normal daughter.

I always thought that Uranus and Gaia were Aphrodite's parents but when it comes to Greek mythology you can never be sure😅😅😊😅

[damnitimp]

There are varieties of Aphrodite's parentage. The most famous was the one where she's the daughter of Uranus, (When kronus castrated his father, some of his semen was dropped into the sea) other myths suggests, Aphrodite was Zeus' daughter created from his many affairs.

In some myth, The daughter who attracted Zeus was Persephone. In those myth, it is said he forced himself upon her.

[ooi]

for everything talking about Aphrodite's father: there were mane different versions of Aphrodite's story, eventually codified into 2 separate goddesses: Aphrodite Urania (Ouranoses' daughter) and Aphrodite Pandemos (Zeus's daughter). Aphrodite's Pandemos ("the people's Aphrodite") was the more popular one. The reason we're more familiar witb Urania is because Christianity liked her better.

recommendation: "Aphrodite" by OverlySarcasticProductions.

Zeus was such a crazy god, its so funny to hear about these stories

[rachellecaracut]

I can't even imagine that Gods has a wrong doing. And Gods are not perfect when I think it is.

[StunningSilken]

Both Aphrodites are the same being. The aunt persona overrides the daughter persona

[bluezinnia]

Lovely Paintings! Makes one wonder if they really looked that beautiful.

[yogibear]

Another thing the ugly god was Hephaestus child of Zeus in Hara while Zeus and Aphrodite made Eros AKA Cupid

[almosthuman]

Bro when they said did you know Zeus had an affair with his daughter I was like which one. Then they said Aphrodite, who is literally made from Kronos’a chopped off genitals and sea foam. Which I think makes her his aunt!??

Incest doesn’t surprise me with the olympians
