Greek Mythology

Venus (Aphrodite) Some say Venus' parents were unknown, and that  she was born of sea foam. Others, like the poet Homer, said she was the daughter of the mighty Jupiter, king of all the gods.       However she was born, Venus was the goddess of love and beauty. She was an essential element of many ancient myths.     Legend says that Venus could be kind or merciless. To be fair to Venus, she was not at all like Mars, the god of war. Mars loved to cause pain and havoc. Venus  only caused havoc accidentally, or if you did something that truly angered her.
