Anchises
In Greek mythology, Anchises (/ænˈkaɪsiːz/ an-KY-seez or /æŋˈkaɪsiːz/ ang-KY-seez; Ancient Greek: Ἀγχίσης, pronounced [aŋkʰi͜ísɛ͜ɛs]) was the son of Capys and Themiste (daughter of Ilus, who was son of Tros). He was the father of Aeneas and a prince from Dardania, a territory neighbouring Troy.
His major claim to fame in Greek mythology is that he was a mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite (and in Roman mythology, the lover of Venus). One version is that Aphrodite pretended to be a Phrygian princess and seduced him for nearly two weeks of lovemaking. Anchises learned that his lover was a goddess only nine months later, when she revealed herself and presented him with the infant Aeneas. Aphrodite had warned him that if he boasted of the affair, he would be blasted by the thunderbolt of Zeus. He did and was scorched and/or crippled. One version has this happening after he bred his mares with the divine stallions owned by King Laomedon. The principal early narrative of Aphrodite's seduction of Anchises and the birth of Aeneas is the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite. According to the Bibliotheca, Anchises and Aphrodite had another son, Lyrus, who died childless. He later had a mortal wife named Eriopis, according to the scholiasts, and he is credited with other children beside Aeneas and Lyrus. Homer, in the Iliad, mentions a daughter named Hippodameia, their eldest ("the darling of her father and mother"), who married her cousin Alcathous.

Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius by Gian Lorenzo Bernini - Borghese In Rome Italy - ECTV
Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius is a sculpture by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini created c. 1618-19. Housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, the sculpture depicts a scene from the Aeneid, where the hero Aeneas leads his family from burning Troy.[1] The life-sized group shows three generations of Aeneas' family. The young man is Aeneas, who carries an older man—his father, Anchises—on his shoulder. He gazes down to the side with a strong determination. Aeneas' lineage from the gods—his mother is Aphrodite—is emphasized through the lion skin draped around his body. (A lion skin commonly stands for power, and is often related to Hercules, a descendant of Zeus[2].) Behind Aeneas follows his young son, Ascanius. The statue was made by Bernini when he was twenty years old, although it...

Why did Aphrodite sleep with Anchises? Greek Mythology Story
Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is known for her many affairs and relationships with both gods and mortals in Greek mythology. One of the most famous of these relationships is with Anchises, a mortal man. But why did Aphrodite choose to sleep with Anchises? What was it about him that caught the attention of the goddess of love? When Anchises first lays eyes on Aphrodite, he is immediately taken by her beauty and grace. He is convinced that she must be a goddess, a grace, or a nymph, and it is easy to see why. Aphrodite is described as the epitome of beauty and allure, and it is no wonder that Anchises is so captivated by her. In fact, it is said that when he first sees her, he is so overcome with desire for her that he declares he must have her immediately. But what was it abo...

CLXII: Getting Down & Dirty with Mortals, Aphrodite, Anchises & the Mysteries of Archaic Aeneas

Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius is a sculpture by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini created c. 1618-19. Housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, the sculpture depicts a scene from the Aeneid, where the hero Aeneas leads his family from burning Troy.[1]
The life-sized group shows three generations of Aeneas' family. The young man is Aeneas, who carries an older man—his father, Anchises—on his shoulder. He gazes down to the side with a strong determination. Aeneas' lineage from the gods—his mother is Aphrodite—is emphasized through the lion skin draped around his body. (A lion skin commonly stands for power, and is often related to Hercules, a descendant of Zeus[2].) Behind Aeneas follows his young son, Ascanius.
The statue was made by Bernini when he was twenty years old, although it is often thought that he had help from his father, Pietro Bernini [2]. Through his father, the younger Bernini was gaining renown in the higher circles of Rome; Pietro's famous Mannerist sculptures were commissioned even by the Pope. Through some minor commissions for Pope Paul V, Gianlorenzo began to be recognized as a very promising sculptor. The Pope couldn't believe that one so young could carve such work. Those sculptures, especially the antique ones, eventually caught the attention of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who loved arts, money and male physical beauty, and who was the most powerful man in Rome after the Pope. [6]
The sculpture is influenced by earlier works of other artists. Michelangelo's figure of the Risen Christ (in Santa Maria sopra Minerva) is held to have served as an example for the figure of Aeneas. The head of Aeneas appears to reflect Pietro Bernini's John the Baptist (Cappella Barberini in Sant'Andrea della Valle). It is thought that it has also elements derived from Raphael's fresco The Fire in the Borgo (Vatican Museum, Stanze di Borgo) and from Federico Barocci's own painted interpretation of the Flight of Aeneas (Villa Borghese)[2]. Also, the stance of the sculpture echoes another work that his father created, the Saint Matthew with Angel. Aeneas' left foot and Ascanius' right foot are standing forward, whereas in Pietro's sculpture of Saint Matthew the stance is the same, but mirrored[2].
Patronage
This was the Bernini's first commission from Cardinal Scipione Borghese. It probably started around 1618 and finished the succeeding year. It was one of a number of sculptures that would end up in the Villa Borghese, now the Galleria Borghese.[2]
Story
Bernini's inspiration for the work was the Aeneid, the Latin epic poem which tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan who left his home city and eventually ended up in Italy, where he became a progenitor of the Roman people. The precise scene depicted is the moment when Aeneas carries his father, the elderly Anchises, and his son Ascanius from Troy, after it has been sacked by the Greek army.[3] In his hand, Anchises carries a vessel with his ancestors' ashes, on the top of which are two tiny statues of Di Penates, Roman household gods.[4]
Artistic influences
Bernini has only just passed twenty when the work was completed. Therefore, it is not unusual to see that the style of execution still owed much to other artists - his own style would become more apparent with the other pieces commissioned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese. The influence of his father Pietro Bernini was evident in the rather lumpy handling of the figures. Elements of the sixteenth-century sculptor Giambologna occur, particular in how Bernini attempted to construct a sense of movement upwards from the boy Ascansius to his grandfather Anchises. The figure of Aeneas may be modelled on Michelangelo's sculpture of Risen Christ.[3]
Two painted influences are also cited. Firstly, the painting by Federico Barocci of the same topic, which was also in Cardinal Borghese's collection. But the more famous influence is from Raphael's fresco in the Vatican, The Fire in the Borgo, which depicts a similar scene, showing a man carrying his father with his son beside them.[3]

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is known for her many romantic entanglements with both gods and mortals in Greek mythology. One of the most intriguing of these relationships is her attraction to the mortal Anchises. According to legend, Anchises was a member of the junior branch of the royal family of Troy. While tending his sheep on Mount Ida, he encountered the goddess Aphrodite, who was immediately enamoured of his beauty. This encounter ultimately led to the birth of Aeneas, a legendary hero and the founder of the Roman race. But what exactly is it about Anchises that drew the attention of the goddess of love? Let's delve into the reasons why Aphrodite was so attracted to this mortal man.
First and foremost, it's important to note that Anchises was not just any mortal. As a member of the royal family of Troy, he would have possessed a certain level of status and nobility. This would have made him a desirable match for Aphrodite, who was often associated with wealth, beauty, and power. In many myths, Aphrodite is depicted as a goddess who is drawn to individuals who possess these qualities, and Anchises would have certainly fit the bill in this regard.
Furthermore, it's worth considering the circumstances under which Aphrodite and Anchises first met. According to legend, Anchises was tending his sheep on Mount Ida when he encountered the goddess. This bucolic setting may have contributed to the allure of the mortal man. In Greek mythology, nature and the countryside are often associated with fertility and abundance, both of which are closely linked to Aphrodite. It's possible that the idyllic surroundings of Mount Ida played a role in sparking the goddess's interest in Anchises.
Of course, it's impossible to overlook the role of physical attraction in Aphrodite's interest in Anchises. The goddess is often portrayed as being drawn to individuals who possess exceptional beauty, and Anchises was certainly no exception. His physical appearance would have been a significant factor in capturing the attention of the goddess of love and beauty. In many myths, Aphrodite is depicted as being irresistibly drawn to mortals who possess exceptional physical beauty, and Anchises would have certainly fit this description.
Another factor that may have contributed to Aphrodite's attraction to Anchises is the element of forbidden love. In many myths, the goddess is depicted as being drawn to mortals with whom a relationship would be considered taboo or scandalous. In the case of Anchises, their union would have been illicit due to the vast difference in their status as a mortal and a goddess. This element of forbidden love may have added an additional layer of excitement and allure to their relationship, making it all the more appealing to Aphrodite.
It's also worth noting that the union between Aphrodite and Anchises ultimately resulted in the birth of Aeneas, a legendary hero who played a crucial role in the founding of Rome. This may have been a significant factor in Aphrodite's attraction to Anchises. In Greek mythology, the gods and goddesses often intervened in the lives of mortals in order to bring about important events or fulfill prophecies. The birth of Aeneas may have been a result of Aphrodite's desire to play a role in shaping the future of the mortal world, and her attraction to Anchises may have been a part of this larger plan.
Finally, it's important to consider the tragic fate that befell Anchises as a result of his relationship with Aphrodite. According to legend, for revealing the name of the child's mother, Anchises was either killed or struck blind by lightning. This tragic outcome may have added a sense of drama and intensity to the relationship between the mortal man and the goddess. In Greek mythology, tragic love stories often hold a special allure, and the doomed fate of Anchises may have added to the romantic and dramatic nature of his relationship with Aphrodite.
In conclusion, the attraction between Aphrodite and the mortal Anchises was likely the result of a combination of factors. His status as a member of the royal family of Troy, the idyllic setting of their first encounter, his exceptional physical beauty, the element of forbidden love, and the ultimate outcome of their relationship all likely played a role in drawing the attention of the goddess of love and beauty. The story of Aphrodite and Anchises is a fascinating and complex tale of love, desire, and the interplay between mortals and the divine in Greek mythology.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is known for her many affairs and relationships with both gods and mortals in Greek mythology. One of the most famous of these relationships is with Anchises, a mortal man. But why did Aphrodite choose to sleep with Anchises? What was it about him that caught the attention of the goddess of love?
When Anchises first lays eyes on Aphrodite, he is immediately taken by her beauty and grace. He is convinced that she must be a goddess, a grace, or a nymph, and it is easy to see why. Aphrodite is described as the epitome of beauty and allure, and it is no wonder that Anchises is so captivated by her. In fact, it is said that when he first sees her, he is so overcome with desire for her that he declares he must have her immediately.
But what was it about Anchises that attracted Aphrodite to him? It is clear that he is not just any mortal man, for Aphrodite would not have been so interested in him if he were. In fact, she convinces him that she is a Phrygian princess and that Hermes brought her there to marry Anchises. This is a clever ruse on Aphrodite's part, as it allows her to seduce Anchises under false pretenses. But it also suggests that there is something special about Anchises that makes him worthy of the attention of a goddess.
It is possible that Aphrodite is drawn to Anchises because he is a man of great physical beauty and strength. In Greek mythology, Anchises is often described as a handsome and powerful man, and it is likely that these qualities would have been attractive to a goddess like Aphrodite. After all, she is known for her love of beauty, and it is easy to imagine her being drawn to someone who embodies these qualities so fully.
But it is not just Anchises' physical attributes that attract Aphrodite to him. It is also clear that he has a strong and passionate nature, as evidenced by his immediate desire for her. This is likely something that would have appealed to Aphrodite, who is known for her own passionate nature. In fact, it is said that the two of them make love with such intensity that they are unable to resist each other.
It is also worth considering the implications of this relationship for both Aphrodite and Anchises. For Aphrodite, sleeping with a mortal man like Anchises is a way of asserting her power and influence over the mortal world. By seducing a mortal man, she is demonstrating her ability to captivate and manipulate even the most powerful of men. This is a common theme in Greek mythology, where the gods often use mortals as pawns in their own power games.
For Anchises, sleeping with Aphrodite is a way of gaining favor with the gods. In Greek mythology, mortals often seek the favor of the gods in order to gain protection, wealth, or other benefits. By sleeping with Aphrodite, Anchises is aligning himself with a powerful goddess, and it is likely that he hopes to gain some advantage from this relationship.
In conclusion, the relationship between Aphrodite and Anchises is a complex and intriguing one. It is clear that there are many factors at play in their attraction to each other, and it is likely that both of them have their own motivations for entering into this relationship. Ultimately, the story of Aphrodite and Anchises serves as a reminder of the power dynamics at play in Greek mythology, as well as the ways in which mortals and gods interact with each other.

Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius is a sculpture by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini created c. 1618-19. Housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, the sculpture depicts a scene from the Aeneid, where the hero Aeneas leads his family from burning Troy.[1]
The life-sized group shows three generations of Aeneas' family. The young man is Aeneas, who carries an older man—his father, Anchises—on his shoulder. He gazes down to the side with a strong determination. Aeneas' lineage from the gods—his mother is Aphrodite—is emphasized through the lion skin draped around his body. (A lion skin commonly stands for power, and is often related to Hercules, a descendant of Zeus[2].) Behind Aeneas follows his young son, Ascanius.
The statue was made by Bernini when he was twenty years old, although it is often thought that he had help from his father, Pietro Bernini [2]. Through his father, the younger Bernini was gaining renown in the higher circles of Rome; Pietro's famous Mannerist sculptures were commissioned even by the Pope. Through some minor commissions for Pope Paul V, Gianlorenzo began to be recognized as a very promising sculptor. The Pope couldn't believe that one so young could carve such work. Those sculptures, especially the antique ones, eventually caught the attention of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who loved arts, money and male physical beauty, and who was the most powerful man in Rome after the Pope. [6]
The sculpture is influenced by earlier works of other artists. Michelangelo's figure of the Risen Christ (in Santa Maria sopra Minerva) is held to have served as an example for the figure of Aeneas. The head of Aeneas appears to reflect Pietro Bernini's John the Baptist (Cappella Barberini in Sant'Andrea della Valle). It is thought that it has also elements derived from Raphael's fresco The Fire in the Borgo (Vatican Museum, Stanze di Borgo) and from Federico Barocci's own painted interpretation of the Flight of Aeneas (Villa Borghese)[2]. Also, the stance of the sculpture echoes another work that his father created, the Saint Matthew with Angel. Aeneas' left foot and Ascanius' right foot are standing forward, whereas in Pietro's sculpture of Saint Matthew the stance is the same, but mirrored[2].
Patronage
This was the Bernini's first commission from Cardinal Scipione Borghese. It probably started around 1618 and finished the succeeding year. It was one of a number of sculptures that would end up in the Villa Borghese, now the Galleria Borghese.[2]
Story
Bernini's inspiration for the work was the Aeneid, the Latin epic poem which tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan who left his home city and eventually ended up in Italy, where he became a progenitor of the Roman people. The precise scene depicted is the moment when Aeneas carries his father, the elderly Anchises, and his son Ascanius from Troy, after it has been sacked by the Greek army.[3] In his hand, Anchises carries a vessel with his ancestors' ashes, on the top of which are two tiny statues of Di Penates, Roman household gods.[4]
Artistic influences
Bernini has only just passed twenty when the work was completed. Therefore, it is not unusual to see that the style of execution still owed much to other artists - his own style would become more apparent with the other pieces commissioned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese. The influence of his father Pietro Bernini was evident in the rather lumpy handling of the figures. Elements of the sixteenth-century sculptor Giambologna occur, particular in how Bernini attempted to construct a sense of movement upwards from the boy Ascansius to his grandfather Anchises. The figure of Aeneas may be modelled on Michelangelo's sculpture of Risen Christ.[3]
Two painted influences are also cited. Firstly, the painting by Federico Barocci of the same topic, which was also in Cardinal Borghese's collection. But the more famous influence is from Raphael's fresco in the Vatican, The Fire in the Borgo, which depicts a similar scene, showing a man carrying his father with his son beside them.[3]

The relationship between Aeneas and Anchises is a central and crucial aspect of Greek mythology, particularly in the context of the Aeneid. Anchises, as the father of Aeneas, holds great significance in shaping the destiny and legacy of his son. Their relationship is characterized by familial love and the important role that Anchises plays in guiding Aeneas through the trials and tribulations of his journey.
Anchises is not only Aeneas's father but also a symbol of his Trojan heritage. He represents the noble lineage and ancestry that Aeneas carries with him, and his presence serves as a constant reminder of the legacy that Aeneas must uphold. As a patriarch of their family, Anchises holds a position of authority and wisdom, and his guidance is invaluable to Aeneas as he navigates the tumultuous path laid out for him by the gods.
One of the most poignant moments in the relationship between Aeneas and Anchises occurs when Anchises passes away during the journey from Troy to Italy. Despite his physical absence, Anchises continues to influence and support Aeneas in spirit. His presence is felt through the guidance and advice he offers to Aeneas in moments of doubt and uncertainty. Anchises's continued influence underscores the enduring bond between father and son, transcending the boundaries of mortality.
Anchises's role in shaping Aeneas's destiny is particularly evident during Aeneas's journey through the underworld. It is Anchises who serves as Aeneas's guide, offering him insight into the fates of his descendants and the legacy that he is destined to leave behind. Through this journey, Anchises imparts crucial knowledge and wisdom to Aeneas, reinforcing the importance of fulfilling fate's decrees and the responsibility that comes with being a leader and a father.
The relationship between Aeneas and Anchises also reflects the broader themes of duty, destiny, and the interplay between the mortal and divine realms. As a mortal man, Anchises embodies the human experience and the complexities of navigating one's fate in the face of external forces. His guidance to Aeneas serves as a testament to the enduring influence of mortal figures in shaping the course of history and the fulfillment of prophecies.
In addition to his role as a guide and mentor, Anchises also serves as a source of emotional support for Aeneas. The bond between father and son is a source of strength for Aeneas, providing him with the resolve to persevere in the face of adversity. The love and respect that Aeneas holds for Anchises are evident in the reverence with which he carries out his father's wishes and the determination with which he seeks to honor his legacy.
The relationship between Aeneas and Anchises is a testament to the enduring power of familial bonds and the influence of ancestral heritage. Anchises's presence serves as a constant reminder of the legacy that Aeneas carries with him, and his guidance shapes the trajectory of Aeneas's journey. Their relationship underscores the importance of honoring one's heritage and the responsibilities that come with carrying on a noble lineage.
In conclusion, the relationship between Aeneas and Anchises is a central and pivotal aspect of Greek mythology, particularly in the context of the Aeneid. Anchises's role as Aeneas's father and guide embodies the enduring influence of familial bonds and the responsibility of upholding one's heritage. Anchises's continued presence in spirit and his unwavering support for Aeneas underscore the enduring nature of their relationship, transcending the boundaries of mortality. Through his guidance and wisdom, Anchises shapes the destiny of Aeneas, imparting crucial knowledge and insight that will ultimately shape the course of history.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is known for her many romantic entanglements with both gods and mortals in Greek mythology. One of the most intriguing of these relationships is her attraction to the mortal Anchises. According to legend, Anchises was a member of the junior branch of the royal family of Troy. While tending his sheep on Mount Ida, he encountered the goddess Aphrodite, who was immediately enamoured of his beauty. This encounter ultimately led to the birth of Aeneas, a legendary hero and the founder of the Roman race. But what exactly is it about Anchises that drew the attention of the goddess of love? Let's delve into the reasons why Aphrodite was so attracted to this mortal man.
First and foremost, it's important to note that Anchises was not just any mortal. As a member of the royal family of Troy, he would have possessed a certain level of status and nobility. This would have made him a desirable match for Aphrodite, who was often associated with wealth, beauty, and power. In many myths, Aphrodite is depicted as a goddess who is drawn to individuals who possess these qualities, and Anchises would have certainly fit the bill in this regard.
Furthermore, it's worth considering the circumstances under which Aphrodite and Anchises first met. According to legend, Anchises was tending his sheep on Mount Ida when he encountered the goddess. This bucolic setting may have contributed to the allure of the mortal man. In Greek mythology, nature and the countryside are often associated with fertility and abundance, both of which are closely linked to Aphrodite. It's possible that the idyllic surroundings of Mount Ida played a role in sparking the goddess's interest in Anchises.
Of course, it's impossible to overlook the role of physical attraction in Aphrodite's interest in Anchises. The goddess is often portrayed as being drawn to individuals who possess exceptional beauty, and Anchises was certainly no exception. His physical appearance would have been a significant factor in capturing the attention of the goddess of love and beauty. In many myths, Aphrodite is depicted as being irresistibly drawn to mortals who possess exceptional physical beauty, and Anchises would have certainly fit this description.
Another factor that may have contributed to Aphrodite's attraction to Anchises is the element of forbidden love. In many myths, the goddess is depicted as being drawn to mortals with whom a relationship would be considered taboo or scandalous. In the case of Anchises, their union would have been illicit due to the vast difference in their status as a mortal and a goddess. This element of forbidden love may have added an additional layer of excitement and allure to their relationship, making it all the more appealing to Aphrodite.
It's also worth noting that the union between Aphrodite and Anchises ultimately resulted in the birth of Aeneas, a legendary hero who played a crucial role in the founding of Rome. This may have been a significant factor in Aphrodite's attraction to Anchises. In Greek mythology, the gods and goddesses often intervened in the lives of mortals in order to bring about important events or fulfill prophecies. The birth of Aeneas may have been a result of Aphrodite's desire to play a role in shaping the future of the mortal world, and her attraction to Anchises may have been a part of this larger plan.
Finally, it's important to consider the tragic fate that befell Anchises as a result of his relationship with Aphrodite. According to legend, for revealing the name of the child's mother, Anchises was either killed or struck blind by lightning. This tragic outcome may have added a sense of drama and intensity to the relationship between the mortal man and the goddess. In Greek mythology, tragic love stories often hold a special allure, and the doomed fate of Anchises may have added to the romantic and dramatic nature of his relationship with Aphrodite.
In conclusion, the attraction between Aphrodite and the mortal Anchises was likely the result of a combination of factors. His status as a member of the royal family of Troy, the idyllic setting of their first encounter, his exceptional physical beauty, the element of forbidden love, and the ultimate outcome of their relationship all likely played a role in drawing the attention of the goddess of love and beauty. The story of Aphrodite and Anchises is a fascinating and complex tale of love, desire, and the interplay between mortals and the divine in Greek mythology.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is known for her many affairs and relationships with both gods and mortals in Greek mythology. One of the most famous of these relationships is with Anchises, a mortal man. But why did Aphrodite choose to sleep with Anchises? What was it about him that caught the attention of the goddess of love?
When Anchises first lays eyes on Aphrodite, he is immediately taken by her beauty and grace. He is convinced that she must be a goddess, a grace, or a nymph, and it is easy to see why. Aphrodite is described as the epitome of beauty and allure, and it is no wonder that Anchises is so captivated by her. In fact, it is said that when he first sees her, he is so overcome with desire for her that he declares he must have her immediately.
But what was it about Anchises that attracted Aphrodite to him? It is clear that he is not just any mortal man, for Aphrodite would not have been so interested in him if he were. In fact, she convinces him that she is a Phrygian princess and that Hermes brought her there to marry Anchises. This is a clever ruse on Aphrodite's part, as it allows her to seduce Anchises under false pretenses. But it also suggests that there is something special about Anchises that makes him worthy of the attention of a goddess.
It is possible that Aphrodite is drawn to Anchises because he is a man of great physical beauty and strength. In Greek mythology, Anchises is often described as a handsome and powerful man, and it is likely that these qualities would have been attractive to a goddess like Aphrodite. After all, she is known for her love of beauty, and it is easy to imagine her being drawn to someone who embodies these qualities so fully.
But it is not just Anchises' physical attributes that attract Aphrodite to him. It is also clear that he has a strong and passionate nature, as evidenced by his immediate desire for her. This is likely something that would have appealed to Aphrodite, who is known for her own passionate nature. In fact, it is said that the two of them make love with such intensity that they are unable to resist each other.
It is also worth considering the implications of this relationship for both Aphrodite and Anchises. For Aphrodite, sleeping with a mortal man like Anchises is a way of asserting her power and influence over the mortal world. By seducing a mortal man, she is demonstrating her ability to captivate and manipulate even the most powerful of men. This is a common theme in Greek mythology, where the gods often use mortals as pawns in their own power games.
For Anchises, sleeping with Aphrodite is a way of gaining favor with the gods. In Greek mythology, mortals often seek the favor of the gods in order to gain protection, wealth, or other benefits. By sleeping with Aphrodite, Anchises is aligning himself with a powerful goddess, and it is likely that he hopes to gain some advantage from this relationship.
In conclusion, the relationship between Aphrodite and Anchises is a complex and intriguing one. It is clear that there are many factors at play in their attraction to each other, and it is likely that both of them have their own motivations for entering into this relationship. Ultimately, the story of Aphrodite and Anchises serves as a reminder of the power dynamics at play in Greek mythology, as well as the ways in which mortals and gods interact with each other.

When Aphrodite gets with mortals, crazy things happen. Aphrodite's affair with the Trojan Anchises lead to the birth of the Trojan prince Aeneas, a man who's much more interesting before the Romans ever got their hold on him...
CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Anchises
In Greek mythology, Anchises (/ænˈkaɪsiːz/ an-KY-seez or /æŋˈkaɪsiːz/ ang-KY-seez; Ancient Greek: Ἀγχίσης, pronounced [aŋkʰi͜ísɛ͜ɛs]) was the son of Capys and Themiste (daughter of Ilus, who was son of Tros). He was the father of Aeneas and a prince from Dardania, a territory neighbouring Troy.
His major claim to fame in Greek mythology is that he was a mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite (and in Roman mythology, the lover of Venus). One version is that Aphrodite pretended to be a Phrygian princess and seduced him for nearly two weeks of lovemaking. Anchises learned that his lover was a goddess only nine months later, when she revealed herself and presented him with the infant Aeneas. Aphrodite had warned him that if he boasted of the affair, he would be blasted by the thunderbolt of Zeus. He did and was scorched and/or crippled. One version has this happening after he bred his mares with the divine stallions owned by King Laomedon. The principal early narrative of Aphrodite's seduction of Anchises and the birth of Aeneas is the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite. According to the Bibliotheca, Anchises and Aphrodite had another son, Lyrus, who died childless. He later had a mortal wife named Eriopis, according to the scholiasts, and he is credited with other children beside Aeneas and Lyrus. Homer, in the Iliad, mentions a daughter named Hippodameia, their eldest ("the darling of her father and mother"), who married her cousin Alcathous.
