One famous love myth is the story of Aphrodite and Adonis.
Here it goes! Aphrodite fell in love with Adonis, a handsome young man and keen hunter. Although she warned him to be careful of wild beasts unfortunately he didn't listen and was killed by a wild boar. At the sight of her dead lover she decided that the scene of Adonis death would be recreated annually and the drops of his blood would be transformed into a flower, the anemone.

Ok, the lover Goddes Aphrodite (Roman name: Venus) was forced to marry the smith god, Hapheastus. She did not like it, and she cheated on him many times with Ares, god of war. Well, Hapheastus was very angry with Aphrodite when he found out, so he made a net above their bed. Soon after, Aphrodite and Ares were on the bed, and the net came down on them. Hapheastus called all the gods to come and laugh.

i've heard a story about Aphrodite that she was forced to marry Hephaestus, the only ugly and lame god (but also the nicest). however, she hated him and instead fell in love with Ares, the god of war. ares and aphrodite repeatedly decieved hephasteus by making love often. however, one time they were spotted by helio, the sun god, who flew to olympus and told all the gods. the male gods all dropped down to watch which understandably embarrassed the pair.
