Venus was a goddess; she wasn't of a goddess. In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love, beauty, desire, sex, fertility, prosperity, and victory. She held a significant position in the Roman pantheon and was considered the ancestor of the Roman people through her son Aeneas.
To clarify, the question likely intends to ask either:
- What was Venus' role? This is answered above (love, beauty, etc.).
- Who was Venus' Greek equivalent? The answer to this is Aphrodite.
| Aspect | Venus (Roman) | Aphrodite (Greek) |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Goddess of love, beauty, etc. | Goddess of love, beauty, etc. |
| Ancestry | Ancestor of the Romans | Involved in various myths |
Therefore, to reiterate, Venus was a goddess. If the question is asking about her counterpart in Greek mythology, that would be Aphrodite.
