Mythology
Aphrodite

In the
Greek myths the beautiful goddess Aphrodite is very cruel. When Zeus demands
her to get married, she picks Hephaestus. This was mean because when other
men were offering her everything that she would ever want, she picks
Hephaestus because he said he would be a very good husband since he works
late. Because he was ugly, he did not want to marry him; however, he worked
late so she could just see other men while he was at work. Hardhearted, se
took advantage of Hephaestus. Also, Aphrodite was very jealous of Psyche is
beautiful. Of course, Aphrodite wants to be the prettiest of all, so she
plans to make Psyche wish that she were never beautiful. Aphrodite orders her
son Eros to scratch Psyche with his love arrows while she is sleeping so when
Psyche wakes up, she will fall in love with some hideous creature. In
conclusion, Aphrodite may be the goddess of love and beauty, but on the
inside she is brutal and hateful. |
