Perceptive. When cast off from Troy, the people re-situated in a new country - Italy. Yes the Romans were our good buddies from the Iliad the Trojans - just all grown-up. As a result a lot of Greek heroes are rebranded in Rome as villains - at least the national ones like Odysseus as opposed to the folklore ones like Heracles. Now "what does this have to do with Aphrodite?" I am sure you are asking. Well since she is the one who started the Trojan war, guess who is unambiguously celebrated in Roman society as planting the seeds of the great Roman empire?

Not sure if she saw mortals as nothing, more like she was an out-of control shipper, but as she is a goddess she gets to ship in real-life.
