She's the daughter of Jupiter (Greek Zeus) but sometimes it includes Dione as her mother. She has lovers including Mars (Greek Ares) and Vulcan (Hephaestus), her husband. Any similarities between the goddess and senshi? Yes, her famous mortal lover Adonis. In Mythology, Venus fell in love with him. Instead of Persephone (the one she entrusted) he always chose Aphrodite to spend two-thirds of the year. Based on SailorV, Adonis, a soldier in planet Venus without a rank is in love with her but she didn't notice it. When they're reborn, the reincarnation of Adonis is Kaitou Ace. They fell in love each other but she found out he is the enemy, she chose to kill him but before he died, he made her a curse that any relationship will not work out. Sad isn't? Venus (Aphrodite) has many love affairs, like Minako she has a lot of crushes. In addition, Sailorvenus� powers associates the colour gold. In astronomy, when the astronomers discovered the planet Venus, it said that "it�s the most beautiful star" so they named Venus, named after the goddess of beauty Venus.

Her importance rose with the political fortunes of the gens Julia, the clan of Julius Caesar, who claimed descent from Venus via Aeneas and Julia. Caesar introduced the cult of Venus as a goddess of marriage and motherhood, Venus Genetrix, under which name he constructed a temple at the Forum in her honour. She became identified with many foreign goddesses, including Ishtar,whence came her identification with the planet we now know as Venus. Her festival, the Veneralia, was celebrated on April 1.
