Irritated, Aphrodite tells Kratos to go to Hephaestus for help instead. Aphrodite wanted Kratos to have sex with her again, but an impatient Kratos refused.
While having sex with her, the handmaidens say Kratos has "such power" and later they begin making love as well. If he does, Kratos would be given a high amount of Red Orbs. That's when she realizes that Kratos needs those bridges fixed and tells him that she might give him information only if Kratos pleases her (he must have sex with her, though she gives him information even if he refuses). Annoyed, she reveals how she yearns for a "real man" to meet her, but since Zeus refused to let the imprisoned Daedalus finish the bridge, she has not had her wish granted and she expressed how much she dislikes Hephaestus. She attempts to seduce Kratos, telling him, "Even though you are no longer the God of War, you can still share my bed." But Kratos was not amused. She then allows Kratos to pass and continue his quest.Īphrodite was seen in bed, with her handmaidens, but when she sees Kratos, she tells them to leave. Once the task is complete Kratos must then use the gaze to turn a few minotaurs into stone. Hephaestus immediately walked back to his bedchamber with a host of other gods and exhibited them as they were naked and wrapped in each other's arms.Īphrodite appeared in the first game in the city of Athens, presenting one of the tasks Kratos must pass: killing Medusa by decapitating her, and using her gaze as a weapon. No sooner had Hephaestus left their home, that Aphrodite called her lover and Ares snuck into the house and in bed with the naked goddess but, just in the midst of their lovemaking, the net fell upon the two lovers, trapping and immobilizing them, locked in a very private embrace. He created an invisible net, which he set over the marriage bed. When he told Hephaestus, the smith god decided to plan his revenge. One day, the sun god Helios caught Ares and Aphrodite in their affair. Aphrodite had many lovers - both gods, such as Ares, and men, such as Anchises. Because of her beauty, other gods feared that their rivalry over her would interrupt the peace among them and lead to war, so Zeus married her to Hephaestus, who, because of his ugliness and deformity, was not seen as a threat. According to Homer's Iliad, she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. According to Hesiod's Theogony, she was born when Cronus cut off Uranus's genitals and threw them into the sea, and she arose from the sea foam ( aphros).
There is more than one story about her origins.
In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of Love, Beauty, Seduction, Pleasure, and Happiness.
