Prose Suggestions

• myrtle, roses, doves, sparrows, and swans. Is myrtle plural?
• an idea which is now generally seen as erroneous. suggest changing idea to theory.
• both of which claimed to be her place of birth. suggest due to the fact that both locations claimed to be the place of her birth.
• Early classical scholars attempted to argue that Aphrodite's name was of Greek does this mean early modern scholars who talk about the classical period, or scholars of the early classical time period? If the first, suggest
• Early scholars of classical mythology attempted to argue that Aphrodite's name was of Greek
• See also: Category:Epithets of Aphrodite Suggest you add |Epithets of Aphrodite]] to Category:Epithets of Aphrodite on the see also.

That does not work because it is part of a "See also" template and I do not know how to pipe a link in one of those; the usual method does not work. --Katolophyromai (talk) 15:48, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

• part of the Arrhephoria festival. suggest change to part of their Arrhephoria feast, as article indicates that it was best called a feast rather than a festival.

If you read the rest of the article, it later describes the Arrephoria as a "festival" and several my sources describe it as a "festival" also, if I remember correctly. The words "feast" and "festival" are sometimes used interchangeably. Besides, the Arrephoria definitely involved celebrations other than just feasting. --Katolophyromai (talk) 15:48, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

• Pseudo-Apollodorus later mentions "Metharme, daughter of Pygmalion, king of Cyprus". link Pseudo-Apollodorus.
• Consorts and children section suggest you add citations to all the people here.

I will take care of this last one later today when I have more time. --Katolophyromai (talk) 15:48, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

I have now taken care of this. --Katolophyromai (talk) 21:47, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

• which was probably originally part of a massive altar that was originally double usage of originally, suggest you switch the first originally to once.

I removed the redundant word. --Katolophyromai (talk) 19:01, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
