   8. Who is Aphrodite’s mother, and what does she do for her daughter?
   9. How do Hera and Athena respond to the wounding of Aphrodite? Why are they so cruel to her?
   10. What does Athena puts on before going to battle, and what about the costume is unique to the Olympians? How does the poet describe it? What is its purpose?
