Aphrodite's birth
The Greek word 'aphros' means foam. Some say this is the basis of Aphrodite's name because of her origin story in Hesiod's 'Theogony'. Cronus, who was King of the Titan Gods, severed his father, Uranus' genitals when he overthrew his father, and tossed them into the sea. From the foam arose Aphrodite, fully grown.
Ares and Aphrodite's affair
Ares had an affair with Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, whilst Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus. Hephaestus concocted a plan to catch the two in the act, and crafted an invisible net to ensnare them whilst they were laying together in bed. Not satisfied with this humiliation, Hephaestus then invited all of the Olympian Gods to witness Ares and Aphrodite trapped together.
