Why do you feel like Aphrodite would be a fan of slashing men’s throats with a perfume bottle?

whyisitalwaysthe10ofswords:

Aphrodite can be Aphrodite Eleemon, The merciful

But she can also be Aphrodite Enoplios, Bearing weapons

Aphrodite can be Aphrodite Pandemos, she who is of all people

But Aphrodite is also Aphrodite Androphonos, the killer of men

Aphrodite is the lover of Aries, Aphrodite Areia, Aries the god of war and bloodlust. She is Aphrodite Epitumbidia, the goddess who lays upon graves. She is Aphrodite Skotia, queen of the beautiful darkness, she is Aphrodite

Tumborukhos, the grave digger. 

Aphrodite is the taste of the sweetest lover on your lips, and blood in the back of your throat. She is the the lightness and newness coming from the sea at dawn, and the darkest night on a moonless ocean. 

She is so much more than the goddess of love and happiness. Just as easily as she can send you over the edge of joy, she’ll bring you crashing down on the bottom of heartbreak.
