Aphrodite (Venus) â Greek Goddess of Love, Beauty, Pleasure, and Procreation. Aphrodite (Roman equivalent is Venus) is the Greek Olympian goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. It would be impossible for the Greeks, a people who so loved the natural beauty and pulchritude, not to invent a deity who protects and personifies those values.
