Aphrodite is the ancient Greek goddess associated with love, beauty, pleasure, passion and procreation.
According to Hesiod’s "Theogony", Aphrodite was born from the foam (αφρός) in the waters of Paphos, on the island of Cyprus. She was depicted as a beautiful woman often accompanied by the winged golding Eros (Έρως). Her attributes included a dove, an apple, a scallop shell and mirrors.

Hera (Ήρα) is the wife of Zeus, the Queen of Olympus, and the Olympian goddess of childbirth and marriage. As such, she is also the deity most associated with family and the welfare of women and children.
Even before her marriage with Zeus, she ruled over the heavens and the Earth. This is one reason why she is referred to as ‘The Queen of Heaven’ – ruling over Mount Olympus where all the gods and goddesses live. Even her husband feared her, she was known to be jealous and vengeful towards the many lovers and offsprings of Zeus.
