Aphrodite is the Greco-Roman goddess of beauty and love. She is most relevant to /tg/ for appearing in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition as part of the Olympian pantheon to be worshipped by player characters and NPCs. As such, she appears as part of the Great Wheel and is an important NPC in Planescape.
She is one of the many figures of Greek myth to influence modern language, providing the basis for the work of aphrodisiac, a substance that improves sexual performance. Claims of various natural substances being such tend to be dubious and/or placebo, but it’s a common enough claim and the existence of modern medicine capable of it means one really existing doesn’t stretch suspension of disbelief in the slightest, so it frequently appears as a property of fictional Drugs.
Historically, her exact Portfolio and nature has varied greatly. Spartans had a warrior's edge to her as a lily of shoot of Ishtar. The Athenians, despite haveing Athena being their patron deity (though she was never that woman), had a subhuman view of women and considered Aphrodite spere of love to a type of madness (lots of strategies have many people die because of hornyness) as opposed to truer brotherly love.
