This is pretty much where we can speak of Aphrodite and Hecate, in this thread.
Now where to begin, everyone?
In some versions, Aphrodite was said to be born from the groin of Uranus, which makes her a 'daughter' of Gaia and Uranus, seeing as how Kronos separated the groin off of Uranus, really, while in other versions, she is either a daughter of Zeus or she came by another area, as a minor goddess connected with Ishtar before running into the Olympians.
In some versions[and maybe that depends on the 3rd of Hecate you are talking about!] Hecate was said to be a cousin to Apollo and Artemis[as mentioned by History Goddess!] because Hecate's mum was a sister to the Titaness, Leto, while in other versions, Hecate is a sister or half-sister to Aphrodite, either by being born from Gaia and Uranus, as well as Aphrodite[but of a different means!] or both of them as daughters of Zeus.
Hecate is also said to be a Triple Goddess, so it could be possible that the origin stories connected with Hecate were referring to a 3rd of Hecate, in particular.
Shall we examine the likes of Hecate, further?

Hmmmm.... Bear with me while I crack open good old Bulfinch's Mythology.
According to this, Aphrodite or Venus, as it is listed under Venus in this book, is the daughter of Zeus (Jupiter) and Dione (female Titan.) The book also says that another legend is that she sprung from the foam of the sea at Cyprus. Then it goes into stuff about her husband (Hephaestus), and her other affairs (Ares), her kids (Eros), her girdle (brings love), and some of the things she has meddled with on earth.
Hecate is said to be one of the Titans who regained her place on Olympus after Zeus's takeover. She is the goddess, err, titaness of witch craft. She is closely associated with Selene, Artemis, and Persephone. Her parents were Perses and Asteria.
Well until I locate my other book I shall be unable to provide any more information, but until then I shall bid you all adieu.

-Electric Elysia-
Powers of Artemis' Hunters
The Hunters have a silvery aura, and are stronger than the average human/demigod/nymph. They are immortal unless they fall in battle or fall in love, and are seen to have the upper hand in battle, with their fighting prowess. This is a quote i found mentioned by a lady of royalty, actually. If so, the Hunters of Artemis have that to their advantage.
