Tales of Greek Mythology

Tales of Aphrodite

Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love and beauty, and my favorite of all the goddesses. It is said that any man that gazed into her eyes would find himself hopelessly entranced by her elegance and charm.

She is often depicted riding inside of a golden chariot which was drawn by a bevy of lovely white swans. Doves and sparrows were known to be sacred to her as well as roses, pearls, cockle shells and the myrtle tree.Below please find two well loved tales which feature the goddess Aphrodite and her propensity for mischief. I hope you enjoy them.
