== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Dragonball Z]]'': The Namekian Dragon is also the Namekian God of Love. It is worth noting that Namekians are mono-gendered and reproduce asexually, which probably explains why it's the side-portfolio of a low-ranking high end wish-granter, rather than the central role of a major deity like for most ''human'' religions.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* The Predator Entity of the Emotional Spectrum in the [[DC Universe]] seems to be one, as it is the embodiment of the violet light of love.
 
== [[Fan FictionWorks]] ==
* In a ''Dungeons and Dragons'' [[Fanfic]], even ''orcs'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20131024190807/http://www.reocities.com/Area51/Vault/9974/orcgods.htm have love goddesses.]
** Kislova: goddess of "light, kindness, mercy, growth, life, love, family"
** Baalibastus: goddess of "love, beauty, fire, passion, animals, children"
*** Waitaminnit... "Kisslover" and "Ballbuster"?

{{smallcaps| Film}}:
* Ursula Andress played Aphrodite in the 1981 ''[[Clash of the Titans]]''.
* Uma Thurman played Venus in ''[[The Adventures of Baron Munchausen]]''.

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* Idra in the ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' setting Scarred Lands.
* The ''Dungeons and Dragons'' [[Forgotten Realms]] setting has several Goddesses of Love, including:
** Sune (humans)
Line 95:
** Sheela Peryroyl: Halfling goddess of nature, agriculture, weather, song, dance, beauty, romantic love.
** Sheyanna Flaxenstrand, intermediate gnome goddess of love, beauty and passion.
* ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' has two gods of love: One god of sexual love, and one god of parental love. These gods are named Slaanesh and Nurgle, and with ''Warhammer 40K'' being the [[Crapsack World]] that it is, both gods are genocidal soul-devouring demon-lords with maximized [[Squick]] factor.
* ''[[The Dark Eye]]'' has at least two: Travia for familiar love (and home and hearth), and Rahja for romantic love and lust (passion, wine and horses, too)
 
Line 107:
* Aphrodite appears in the third [[God of War (series)|God of War]] game. Naturally, it includes a sex-scene between her and the player character, Kratos.
** Such ''power!''
* The ''[[Wild ArmsARMs]]'' series has Raftina, the Guardian of Love and one of the Guardian Lords [[Fantasy Pantheon|that rule over the other Guardians]].
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
Line 113:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In Disney's ''[[Hercules (Disney1997 film)||Hercules]]'' animated series, Aphrodite appears as a secondary character once in a while. Her main trait is her [[Ear Worm]] [[Theme Tune]].
{{quote|Aphrodite, Aphrodite, ''Aphrodite''...
...THE GODDESS OF LOVE! }}
** Cupid also appeared in at least one episode
* ''[[Daria]]'' had a [[A Day Atat the Bizarro]] episode where Cupid, the embodiment of Valentine's Day, showed up (along with the St. Patrick's Day Leprechaun). He winds up putting a love spell on Daria's bickering parents, making them act like a mixture of [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]] and [[Insatiable Newlyweds]] for most of the episode.
* One of the Snuggly Duckling thugs from ''[[Tangled]]'' is dressed like Cupid.
* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Princess Cadence]]. Her cutie mark, depicting the one special thing about a pony, is a heart. Considering how powerful [[The Power of Love]] is in her world, she probably shouldn't be underestimated.
