Aphrodite is the Goddess of Love...and not just
romantic love, as she is quick to point out. There's
jealous love, unrequited love, and puppy love to name
a few...that makes the Bodacious Babe one busy
Goddess!
Aphrodite wasn't friends with Xena and her group
right off the bat. But after several misadventures she
came to respect Xena (who she affectionately refers to
as "The Warrior Babe") and Gabrielle (aka "Sweet Pea")
and then over time the Goddess of Love became one of
their staunchest supporters, friends, and all around Friendly
Olympus Connection.
Many people even say that it was Aphrodite Herself who
brought the Warrior and Bard together....but 'Dite
never zaps and tells, so we'll never know for sure.
The Goddess of Love has the attitude and sense of
humors of the coolest of Valley Girls, but as she is
quick to point out she has brains, too:
"Don't let the blonde hair fool ya! Although overly
bombastic forms of circumlocution are to be avoided,
one shouldn't shy away from big words in their right
context."
Who says Aphrodite's a dumb blonde? Certainly *not*
Xena and Gabrielle.
Here's some links that should have you saying,
"Doesn't she ever get cold?" in no time!
