She is the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Venus being her equivalent in Roman mythology. In some accounts she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione; in others she was said to have sprung from the foam of the sea. She was the irresistible goddess who stole away even the wits of the wise by wiles and by her sweet, mocking laughter. Sometimes she appears as the wife of Hephaestus (Vulcan), the lame and ugly god of the forge. She is also the mother of Eros (Cupid), the lover of Ares (Mars), and the one that bore Aeneas by Anchises. To her Paris awarded the golden apple inscribed “for the fairest.” And her bribe or reward for this was Paris's gaining the love of Helen, which precipitated the Trojan War.
