Aphrodite (Greek á¼ÏÏοδίÏη) is the Greek goddess of love and beauty and sexuality. Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus.
Her Roman analogue is Venus. Her Mesopotamian counterpart was Ishtar. Her Egyptian counterpart is Hathor, and her Syro-Palestinian counterpart was `Ashtart (in standard Greek spelling Astarte); her Etruscan equivalent was Turan. She has parallels to Indo-European dawn goddesses such as Ushas or Aurora.
The name á¼ÏÏοδίÏη the name is connected by popular etymology with á¼ÏÏÏÏ "foam", interpreting it as "risen from the foam". It has reflexes in Messapic and Etruscan (whence April), which were probably loaned from Greek. Attempts to derive the name from Semitic AÅ¡toret, via undocumented Hittite transmission, remain doubtful. A suggestion by Hammarström, rejected by Hjalmar Frisk, connects the name with ÏÏÏÏανιÏ, a loan into Greek from a cognate of Etruscan (e)pruni, "lord" or similar.
