So in the "big" fight scene between the Titans and the Charmed Ones, what did Phoebe do? What was her power about, just luring men? Piper pretty much did everything alone but Paige did help by breaking the floor a bit more so they could fall into the abyss but what did Phoebe do? Honestly it seemed like Piper could have single-handedly taken them down.

Phoebe's role was basically eye candy.

That was the beginning of "Phoebe's God-awful quest for love" thing that Kern wrote in, awful from start to finish.

Yeah I think Phoebe's role was just eye candy basically to try and seduce either Cronus or Demitri.
She would've better been served getting Artemis's power being the goddess of the hunt and using that to find both Titans instead which would've been a better combination with Paige and Piper's goddess powers naturally.

In the Illiad Aphrodite takes part in the battle to defend Troy and is hurt While as Aphrodite Urania she represented the pure and ideal love,a Aphrodite Areia,warrior) shewas represented armed and associated with the cult of Ares The ignorance of the writers made futile presence of one of the most powerful goddesses of Olympus

It looks that way, certainly but obviously, someone didn't want to research here.

I never understood why every-time it got super hot in the 90s in San Francisco phoebe would get super charged sexually. And to add to it, it always turns out that something magic is involved. If you go back and watch "She's A Man, Baby Man" from Season 2 you will see similarities here.
Anyways. Back to the tropic. Both Phoebe and Paige obviously never found their true power like Piper did after Chris pissed her off about Leo becoming an elder. Aphrodite was meant to have the ability in war to cause massive divisions and start internal wars within enemy camps with her power of seduction/intimidation and ability to get men to do what she wanted. There was no place for the Goddess of Love in this situation. Maybe if Kronos hadn't killed Meta, phoebe may have been able to seduce Demetrius and caused a big fight between Demetrius and Meta. That's as much I could see phoebe doing here. And that would only anger Kronos and he's kill Meta eventually anyways.
This episode showed me really how much Piper hated the elders. Leo becoming an Elder was just too much for her to handle.

And the reason why Poor, Poor Pitiful Piper hated the Elders (or at least the Elders before we saw them and Kern made them more demonic than the demons - I think everyone rightfully hated those Elders, especially Odin)? Because they wouldn't let her do what she wanted to do. Poor baby! NOT!

In the Olympus didn't exist gods and goddesses pacifist, Aphrodite was the goddess of conjugal love, of passional love but also the goddes of the fury of the war, the writers were very ill informed if they didn't know it!
Were the Elders afraid of the powers they held under custody? Very wise but then why entrust them to human beings not worrying about the consequences?

In the end it was Piper who opened up the earth and swallowed them whole.
I think the Elders shouldn't be able to create gods. If they saw how terrible it went with the Greeks why create the Hindu gods or the gods of Africa and every other one?
If they couldn't defeat the titans how could the essence they created?

Question, do you think the Hollow could have killed the Titans? I am only asking this due to the fact that the Hollow consist of both good and evil magic, so maybe that is what the Charned Ones needed to destroy the Titans.

Could be. It absorbs power. So it could make them powerless and easily vanquished

It was something I hated, like Phoebe was married with a child along the way but Kern destroyed that just for her to be in forgettable relationships and for her to get married twice afterwards, why couldn't they have written Cole and Phoebe to work out?

Phoebe became a rather moot character from S4E14-S8. After they vanquished the Source, the first time, it's like they (also) vanquished who Phoebe really was, too.
