Aphrodite god of war death1/29/2024 I propose, though, that we push aside these names and dub her, for simplicity’s sake, Aphrodite: Goddess of the Body.Īs the daughter of Ouranos (as asserted by writers such as Hesiod, Cicero, Apuleius and Nonnus)-born of his castrated genitals plunging into the sea-Aphrodite would be, in terms of power and influence, on the same level as the Titanes in truth, she would belong to a generation between Titan and Olympian, for she would have been born in the period between Kronos’ castration of his father and the birth of Zeus. She is named the goddess of beauty, of love, of sex and even of war, grief, death.
