Aphrodite, being the goddess of beauty, love, pleasure, and procreation, had to have a good image. She was mostly seen wearing revealing clothes or nothing at all, which adds to the lust part of her job. She was also seen as a fully grown woman, even when she was born, which takes away from the innocence of love and procreation. Aphrodite was beautiful, and every man's dream. She had everything she needed for a life of love and the wonderful attentions that come with it. She truly had it all from some women's point of view. But from others'... looks don't mean everything.

That's very interesting, and a little weird
