Chapter Two
Aphrodite Pandemos

Narrator: Homer

Aphrodite Pandemos is the one you know when you hear "Aphrodite". Born from Zeus and a goddess named Dione, she was eventually integrated into the Roman Pantheon as the goddess Venus. She founded Rome through her mortal son Aeneas.

Her name means "Aphrodite of the people" or "common Aphrodite". Created by both a male and female, it's said her love is mixed and imperfect as differences attract. Men under her spell have no preference between men and women.
