Aphrodite's Lust Is What Shapes the World
Lust fuels the conflict that shapes mythological history and ultimately is the undoing for the trojan people. It's paris's lust for helen, can't stop saying it that way, that causes him to choose aphrodite. And it's helen's lust for paris that causes her to run off with him,. reject her husband and family, escape the patriarchy and basically start the trojan war. So aphrodite proves that not only love or lust, is the most beautiful and deadly thing, it also is what shapes and moves the world.
