History
Pre-Crisis
Aphrodite was the creator of the Amazons. After her former husband Mars inspired Hercules to enslave the Amazons, Aphrodite forced all inhabitants of Paradise Island to wear Bracelets of Submission as a reminder never to submit to the domination of man. She also gave immortality to the Amazons under the condition that they never set foot in man's world again. Aphrodite was also the creator of Wonder Woman, allowing Hippolyta to mold a child out of clay. She was a beacon of love, forgiving criminals such as the Baroness Paula von Gunther and accepting her into the Amazon nation. She also resurrected Steve Trevor after he was slain by Doctor Cyber, as well as brought Astarte peace.
Post-Crisis
Aphrodite was one of several Gods who gifted Princess Diana of the Amazons and allowed her to become Wonder Woman. She was also the mother of Deimos, Phobos, Eris, and Harmonia, born from the union between Aphrodite and Ares. She participated in the War of the Gods, and has been a constant, yet minor, force in Wonder Woman's life. Recently, Aphrodite restored Wonder Woman after she had become a Black Lantern.
