Aahh, Valentine's Day or St. Valentine's Day. In honor of the Catholic Saint no one knows about I will post nothing about him until the day itself. Until that time, enjoy mankind's personifications of love throughout every culture I could possibly find. I thought I'd start easy and so, I present to you...
Aphrodite
According to Greek myth Aphrodite was either born from the castoffs of a castrated Uranus (no jokes please) or the daughter of Zeus and Dione. She was married to Hephaestus, yet had children with Ares, Poseidon, Hermes, Dionysus, Adonis, Phaethon, Anchises, Butes and at least one other. She was a busy, busy lady.
One of the best Aphrodites ever, from Hercules the Legendary Journeys. Probably the greatest mythology destroying shows of all time, but still somehow one of my favorites. Aphrodite as played by Alexandra Tydings is a fantastic sister to the series star and manages to pull off a particular innocence in the roll.
The absolute least favorite and probably the reason that Vanna is still tapping (not turning) letters on Wheel. Absolutely godawful...get it?
Until tomorrow...
