Aphrodite's Cabin

"Gah, is that where super models go to die?"

- Piper's reaction to Aphrodite's Cabin when she first saw it

Aphrodite's cabin (#10) has a painted roof, with pillars and a blue-and-white checkerboard deck with steps and gray walls. It is filled with beautiful girls with designer's clothing and very good-looking and handsome boys. In The Lost Hero the cabin is described as a pink 'Barbie house' with a pink door, lace curtains and potted carnations by the window. The inside of the cabin smells very heavily of perfume. The inner walls of the cabin are pink with white window trim. The curtains and beds are pastel blue and green. Every person has a chest with their name painted on it to store their belongings. Their personal bunk spaces were decorated with famous and attractive Hollywood movie stars and singers, and with the pictures of their family members too.

Aphrodite's Rite of Passage
In The Lost Hero, one camper tells Piper about the rite of passage. For a child of Aphrodite to prove herself/himself, he/she must make someone fall in love with her/him and then break that someone's heart. It is unknown how this got started. At the end of the book, Piper decides to get rid of it after becoming head counselor. Silena Beauregard also broke the rite of passage tradition, when she fell in love with Beckendorf and stayed in love with him.
