Character Bio
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love is a reccuring character on Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love
Legendary Journeys. She is first portrayed as being spiteful and
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Loveselfish.She was very immature at
times, as shown with her fueds with Discord and her son, Cupid.
But as her character is deepened, we learn that she can have a soft spot for people and care for others. For example, her clear respect and love for her brother, Ares and her friendship with Gabrielle. She even stood up against Athena to protect Gabrielle, during the Twilight of the Gods. Though she seemed to honestly fear Eve and the Twilight.
When it comes to Hercules, she treats him as the typical protective older brother figure, unlike some of the other Olympians, even calling him "Big Bro".
Her and Ares' connection deepens in Season 6 of Xena, when Aphrodite literally goes insane, when Ares looses his godhood as War and Love balance eachother out. The then Roman emperor, Caligula uses this to his advantage by sucking the godhood and sanity out of her, literally. After the defeat of Caligula, Aphrodite becomes mortal just like her brother though Xena soons helps them regain godhood.

Aphrodite Quotes
 | Season 5 / Episode 11: - Punch Lines Aphrodite: [materializing behind Gabrielle] Boo! Gabrielle: Aphrodite? Aphrodite: Can't sleep, huh? Gabrielle: You scared me. Aphrodite: Sorry, I didn't know I had to *knock* in my own temple. Gabrielle: You don't, but can you just keep it down, I don't want to wake Xena. Aphrodite: Pregnant girl need her rest, huh? I remember when Cupid was on his way... Gabrielle: Uh, doesn't a god of your obvious stature have anything better to do than hang out here in the middle of the night? Aphrodite: Owwie. What's with the attitude? I let you sleep in my temple. I show real concern for your insomnia, and you treat me like I'm a rash where the sun don't shine. |
| Season 5 / Episode 11: - Punch Lines Aphrodite: So you shrunk her horse, big deal. Everybody shrinks as they get older. That's why old people are so short. Gabrielle: Now that's very constructive. What are you writing? Aphrodite: Patient is hostile and insecure, possibly masking some latent tendencies. Gabrielle: This is stupid. Aphrodite: No, I'm sorry. Look. No more scroll, alright? Gabrielle: Latent tendencies? Where did you learn to talk like that? Aphrodite: Honey, don't let the blonde hair fool you. Although bombastic forms of circumlocution should be generally avoided, one mustn't shy away from big words in the right context. Gabrielle: What? |
