@athenasdriedflower: In the story of the Trojan War as told in The Iliad, Aphrodite was wounded while trying to save her son Aeneas from the Greek warrior Diomedes. Encouraged by Athena, Diomedes attacked even the gods and struck Aphrodite on the wrist with his spear as she carried Aeneas away from the battlefield. The goddess cried out in pain, dropped her son, and fled the fighting. She was rescued by her brother Ares, who lent her his divine chariot, and she rode swiftly back to Mount Olympus. There, her mother Dione comforted her while the gods mocked the fact that the goddess of love had tried to take part in war. The episode highlights the contrast between Aphrodite’s domain of love and the brutal world of battle, showing that even an immortal goddess could be hurt and forced to retreat. #greekmythologytiktok #aphrodite #trojanwar #greekmyth #greekgoddess
