Most of the Greek gods were representations of forces over which mere humans had little or no control. Aphrodite (Roman Venus) was the goddess of love. The term aphrodisiac, which means a love potion, is a derivative of her name. The Greeks saw love as a kind of madness that overtook the lovers. Aphrodite had many followers, particularly women, who prayed to her and made offerings to her to feel in control of their love-lives. Apparently her priestesses also gave fashion advice and grooming tips.
