If you read the quotation carefully, you would notice that Aphrodite and Venus are not exactly the same: "I changed hardly at all from one age to the other." The key word here is "hardly", because that means that Aphrodite did change, though only a little. Nevertheless, Aphrodite and Venus are thus not exactly the same.

Also, read the following carefully as well, " Love is love after all. Whether you're Greek or Roman." What she states there doesn't make much sense, which is why using the "love is universal" argument is a bit silly. Of course love is universal. That's is like saying that war is universal, which it is. Does that mean Ares and Mars are exactly the same? No.
