Notes

2. ^ Jump up to: a b There are two major conflicting stories for Aphrodite's origins: Hesiod, in his Theogony, claims that she was
"born" from the foam of the sea after Cronus castrated Uranus, thus making her Uranus' daughter;[2] Homer, however, in his Iliad,
has Aphrodite as daughter of Zeus and Dione.[3] According to Plato, however, the two were entirely separate entities: Aphrodite
Ourania and Aphrodite Pandemos.[4]
3. ^ Jump up to: a b Either Hestia or Dionysus is considered the 12th Olympian.
