Strangely enough Hades 2 is not the only game where Aphrodite is lonely, or depressed.
There is a game called Time Princess, where multiple stories can be playd, and on of them is based on the Illiad, called Helen of Sparta.
So Aphrodite apears in the story, and she is all sad and stuff about love, and the absenc of it, and about loneliness in her life, if I remember well.
I don't get why is this so common.
Ok but why have I seen so many retellings where Ares and/or Hephaestus are the only ppl who like/understand Aphrodite? Sure she doesn’t get along with tons of ppl, but she still has tons of lovers, friends and children to hang out with, she’s not exactly an enigma they can’t connect to and she isn’t slut shamed and isolated by the other Olympians at all.
