Biography
In the Prime Universe
In the Prime Universe, the Creator decided to place her Clockwork Cherub creations under the patronage of the “Great Goddess” Aphrodite as well as the god Cupid, 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)
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) 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) The Order of Aphrodite was one of the highest honours that could be internally bestowed on members of the Crew. (PROSE: The Green Gorillas) Cupids sometimes swore “by Aphrodite”. (PROSE: The Labors of Juliet)
After #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)
On another occasion, Pythe and his C.I.I. personally met Aphrodite. She turned Valerius-1497 into a parakeet, something which the Crew had not found a way to reverse by December 2021. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)
In the 97th Cosmos
In the 97th Cosmos, as in the Prime Universe, the planet Venus was named for the goddess. (PROSE: The Resurrection of the Wellsians)
