SUMMARY:

The goddess Aphrodite since the seventies has been gaining prominence among studies focused on Greek gods. The goddess is plural, with discrete and overlapping spheres of action, her powers influence from the gods on Olympus to humans, animals and nature, she is present at decisive moments in the Greek mythological universe and is invoked in different contexts. Despite this, there are many scientific articles and mythological dictionaries that, based on existing information about the goddess, information of a literary nature, define her exclusively as a “goddess of love”, reducing the dimension of her power. However, when the epic poems of the archaic period are carefully analyzed, we observe the various facets of Aphrodite and how her powers directly influence the course of events. Therefore, this dissertation intends to analyze the goddess Aphrodite, according to her gifts, spheres of action and personality from the crossing between the literary sources of the archaic period of ancient Greece, that is, the Iliad, Odyssey, Theogony, Homeric Hymns and Cyprian Songs.
