 In the 1960s, [[the Creator]] of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] decided to place her [[Clockwork Cherub]] creations under the patronage of the “Great Goddess” Aphrodite as well as the god [[Cupid#In the Prime Universe|Cupid]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'')  her son, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Magic Trick (novel)|Magic Trick]]'') as she intended for them to harness “the [[Power of Love]]” to spread peace throughout [[the Multiverse]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'')
-Subsequently, she was officially worshipped by the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, although [[Pythagoras-858]] did not put much fervour into this practice. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') The Crew's Terms of Service, Section A113-B noted that in case of blasphemy against Aphrodite, “prosecution may be undertaken” through the [[Misuse Office]] in the [[Underworld]]. ([[VIDEO]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (video story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') The [[Order of Aphrodite]] was one of the highest honours that could be internally bestowed on members of the Crew.

+Subsequently, she was officially worshipped by the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, although [[Pythagoras-858]] did not put much fervour into this practice, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') with a [[Temple of Aphrodite]] existing within the [[Cupid Homeworld]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol (short story)|A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol]]'') The Crew's Terms of Service, Section A113-B noted that in case of blasphemy against Aphrodite, “prosecution may be undertaken” through the [[Misuse Office]] in the [[Underworld]].

 After [[Mandragora-257|#257]] lost the Creator's formula for the Cupid [[Love Potion]], Aphrodite began supplying the Crew with a purely supernatural substitute. The interchangeability of the Creator's biochemical formula and Aphrodite's creation was a subsequent subject of puzzlement for the [[Department of Theology]], the [[Department of Wizardry]] and the [[Department of Philosophy]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') [[Pythagoras-858]] met Aphrodite on at least one occasion before the 2019 “rabbits” incident; she didn't particularly like him, but acknowledged him as a reasonable man, who could be talked to, and also knew to act respectful in the presence of a deity, whatever his personal convictions.
