Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about a major Greek goddess rather than a disputed claim. NotesWikipedia's community maintained article on Aphrodite. Consulted 2026-08-11 for her epithets and symbols, the Venus identification and its link to the Roman foundation myth through Aeneas, and its explicit statement that Homer's Iliad names her the daughter of Zeus and Dione, distinct from Hesiod's Theogony account of her birth from the sea.
