Hey guys! How are you? I am awesome because I had a lot of fun researching things about Aphrodite. I have found out a lot of things about how Aphrodite was born and what happened after. When Ouranos was killed his blood mixed with the salt water in the ocean and created Aphrodite out of sea foam. It is weird that she created because of a murder. She washed up on the island Cyprus' shore. When she stepped on the island flowers started to bloom. Birds flew everywhere and animals frolicked across the island. Sounds amazing right? She made the island like a paradise. Three Horai, the goddess of seasons, came to the island and found Aphrodite. Since she was so beautiful they decided to bring her to mount olympus, so the gods could see her. Right when Hera saw Aphrodite she said that she should be married off right away, because if she was not there would be a lot of chaos. Hera was actually right. All of the gods fought over her. Gods offered her all kinds of gifts. Posiden offered her a palace and ocean riches. Hera put a stop to all of the fighting. Since she was the goddess of marriage and family she made Aphrodite marry Hephaestus. Aphrodite agreed to marry him because he said that he would make her the best jewelry (which is awesome) and she knew that she would be able to sneak out with other guys without him knowing (which is not as awesome in my opinion). She was right. She was able to sneak out with out with a lot of guys, including her "secret" boyfriend Ares.
