The Greek goddess of love and beauty, often associated with doves, is Aphrodite. She embodies love's various forms—romantic, sexual, and platonic. Aphrodite was born from the sea foam or, according to some myths, is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. She plays a significant role in numerous myths, influencing the relationships among gods and mortals, such as initiating the events leading to the Trojan War through the infamous judgment of Paris.
