Some say that Aphrodite and Dionysus 2 had a son and that his name was Priapus. But others say that Priapus' mother was not Aphrodite but a Nymph [Strab.13.1.12], while yet others say that Priapus' father was Hermes without mentioning his mother [Hyg.Fab.160]. Priapus is a phallic deity. He is said to have contended with an ass (the saddle-ass of the Satyr Silenus, adviser and instructor of Dionysus 2 [Dio.4.4.3]) "on a matter of physique" (the size of their members), or that the same ass prevented him from loving either Lotis, a Nymph, or Hestia [Dio.5.68.1; Apd.1.1.5; Cic.ND 2.67; Pin.Nem 11.1], the first-born of the OLYMPIANS and guardian of altars, hearths and States [Hyg.Ast.2.23; Ov.Fast.1.415ff., 6.335ff.]. Lotis is said to have turned into the flower lotus while fleeing from Priapus [Ov.Met.9.347].

There are many sources for images of Aphrodite. Women's magazines are full of models who are beautiful. Each could be Aphrodite. The playmates in the men's magazine's will ... sometimes serve. Advertisements often contain beautiful women, some nude or almost nude. There are many works of art that picture beautiful, nude women.

Overjoyed with his good fortune in acquiring this stunning bride, Hephaestus did his best to please Aphrodite, designing and creating for her the most beautiful jewelry and furniture that had ever been seen. He even went so far as to make Aphrodite a magical golden girdle that made her irresistible to men when she wore it. Whatever could he have been thinking?

Well, if you knew cousin Aphrodite at all, you just knew that Atalanta's reluctance to tramp around didn't sit well with her. 'What's that girl doing, killing Calydonian boars and running through woods hunting with the men, when there's such a much better reason to be in the company of males?' Aphrodite wondered.
