Aphrodite is one of the twelve Olympians and the Goddess of Love from the Greek mythology. The Roman Empire later adapted her into their pantheon and gave her the name Venus. The cult of Aphrodite was largely derived from the Phoenician goddess Astarte, a cognate of the East Semitic goddess Ishtar, whose cult was based on the Sumerian cult of Inanna.
