Can people please tell me why she was so respected, valued and believed in so much by the ancient greeks?

Web sources would be good.
I've been told i should use wikipedia as its not considered a "reliable" source.

This if for an essay i gotta write and i have extreme trouble finding info on the question.
I understand she is the goddess of love but that cant be just the reason why she is so highly respected.
There must be others factors that made her so respected, and believed in so much.
 
For other uses, see Aphrodite (disambiguation).
Aphrodite (Greek: ????????; Latin: Venus) (pronounced /?æfr?'da?ti/; Ancient Greek: IPA: [ap??o'di:t?:], Modern Greek: [af?o'ðiti]) is the classical Greek goddess of love, lust, and beauty. She was also called Kypris and Cytherea after the two places, Cyprus and Cythera, which claimed her birth. Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus. Myrtle, dove, sparrow, and swan are sacred to her.
