Notes

1. ^ There are conflicting stories regarding the origins of Eros. Eros is usually mentioned as the son of Aphrodite and Ares, but Hesiod's Theogony places him as one of the primordial beings which came after Chaos.
2. ^ There are two major conflicting stories for Aphrodite's origins: Hesiod, in his Theogony, claims that she was "born" from the foam of the sea after Cronus castrated Uranus, thus making her Uranus' daughter; Homer, however, in his Iliad, has Aphrodite as daughter of Zeus and Dione. According to Plato, however, the two were entirely separate entities: Aphrodite Ourania and Aphrodite Pandemos.
3. Hesiod puts Nyx as the mother of the Hesperides; they are alternatively daughters of Nyx and Erebus, of Atlas, of Atlas and Hesperis, of Phorcys and Ceto, or of Zeus and Themis.
4. ^ Either Hestia or Dionysus is considered the 12th Olympian.
