venus god of love
... The presentation of the goddesses Juno and Venus in The Aeneid far depicts their drive for personal satisfactions through their own power. ... For Venus, her selfish action revealed when she agreed with Juno to make Dido fall in love with her son during a hunting escapade. ... Even though Venus realized that Junos only intention is diverting the future power from Italy to Libya she still agrees with the proposition. ... With her heart sets on vengeance against the Trojans, Juno seeks help from the god, Aelolus, in preventing the Trojans from reaching Italy, bribing him with her lovely nymph. In the other hand, Trojans are the people of Venus and she will do anything within her power to protect her people and ensure they get the heritage and honor she feels are due to them. Venus is also a very powerful goddess, yet she is limited by her womanly desires and must also enlist the help of other gods in saving her people. Venus confronts Jupiter, accusing him of being angry with her people, and begs him to secure the fate of her son and the Trojans.
