The parents fought and Gaia created a stone sickle, which she gave to Cronus to attack his father. Cronus castrated Uranus and threw his father's testicles into the sea. They caused the sea to foam and out of that white foam rose Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty.

What is the purpose of Aphrodite?

She was known primarily as a goddess of love and fertility and occasionally presided over marriage. Additionally, Aphrodite was widely worshipped as a goddess of the sea and of seafaring; she was also honoured as a goddess of war, especially at Sparta, Thebes, Cyprus, and other places.

Why did the Greeks create Aphrodite?

As the goddess of love, Greeks believed she could bring peace and civility to the world. The Greek poet Homer paid homage to Aphrodite in the Illiad. When Paris was given the choice between victory in battle, eternal wisdom, or the beauty of Helen offered by Aphrodite, he chose the latter.
