Aphrodite is from the Greek *Aphroditē* — the goddess of love, beauty, and desire, born from sea foam (*aphros*). **A modern revival name in the broader vintage-Greek aesthetic**. **Aphrodite in Greek mythology** — born from the sea foam when Cronus castrated Uranus; one of the Twelve Olympians; married to Hephaestus but in love with Ares; mother of Eros (Cupid); her judgment of Paris triggered the Trojan War. **Botticelli's *The Birth of Venus* (c. 1485)** — one of the most-recognized paintings in the world; at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence with 4+ million visitors annually. **The Venus de Milo (c. 130 BCE)** — Hellenistic statue at the Louvre. **Aphrodite (Kylie Minogue album, 2010)** — debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart. **Aphrodite's Child** — Greek progressive rock band featuring Vangelis.
