Aphrodite

Aphrodite is a recurring character in the Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians. She is part of the second generation of the Olympians gods, the goddess of beauty, love, lust, desire, sexuality, and pleasure, and the mother of Piper McLean. Her Roman counterpart is Venus.

According to Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Aphrodite was born from Ouranos' genitals after Kronos chopped his father into multiple pieces and cast him into the ocean. She was immediately born from the sea and was so beautiful, that Aphrodite nearly started a war amongst the Gods. When she appeared on Olympus, all of the male gods apart from Hephaestus began flirting with her, hoping for Aphrodite to become their consort. However, Hera realized that there was about to be a civil war between the gods until she got the idea of pairing Aphrodite and Hephaestus together due to her son being the only one not swooning over her. The duo were married on the spot. Despite Hephaestus promising to be a faithful husband, Aphrodite found him repulsive and wanted to have multiple affairs.

Hephaestus caught Ares and Aphrodite having an affair, catching them in a golden net.
