Aphrodite symbolized the physical love, rather than the love in the marriage. She had the power to make fall in love; not only of herself, but also of everyone she wanted. No god or mortal could evade her law, and even Zeus fell in love again and again with mortal women because of her. To take his revenge, Zeus compelled her to love a mortal. She is also the symbol of the beauty, and she has always been depicted as a beautiful young girl. She had a capricious disposition and avenged herself on whoever did not respect her law or did not worship her.
