^Well firstly, Aphrodite didn't intentionally start the war. In fact, it was really moreso Athena-who was upset about losing and determined to get revenge by encouraging Odysseus and co. to fight in the war. All Aphrodite did was win a beauty contest, which is essentially part of her ruling. And I think that's sorta Eros's job that mankind gave him. It'd be like blaming Ares for war. After all, mankind assigned the gods these task through belief. And trust me, being outed is like pouring alcohol on an infected wound. Sure, it hurts like hell, but Nico benefited from it. It's like a parent spanking you. Not because they just love hitting you, but because they need you to understand something that your not understanding through other forms of communication. In fact, I don't even think Nico or Jason bled at any point.
