Aphrodite

Aphrodite Goddess of Love

In volume six of Olympians, graphic novel author/artist George O'Connor turns the spotlight on Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Look for the same thoroughly researched and wonderfully accessible comics storytelling as O'Connor tackles the story of the Aphrodite from her dramatic birth (emerging from sea-foam) to her role in the Trojan War. O'Connor has outdone himself with this volume: the story is riveting and the artwork is beyond compare. Greek mythology has never been so vivid! This title has Common Core connections.

Amusing. The origin of Aphrodite was pretty good, since I wasn't too familiar with it before. Always loved the statue maker's story. In his notes, O'Connor admits the golden apple story makes the goddesses look bad, but that's how it goes.
