Aphrodite's Wrath
In the Greek world few city states were as powerful and respected as Athens and in Athens few women were as beautiful and sought after as Megara. The purple eyed woman was well known by the cities people as strikingly independent and quick-witted, making her the perfect target of men's attention and women's scorn. Yet any man who even attempted the win Meg's favor was quick to find she was also cynical and world-weary. After being cheated on by Prince Adonis she had decided to forsake men all together and reserved a special hatred for the goddess of love who had stolen him away.
"Agh! What about 'I've sworn off man handling' don't you get Socrates? Go bother Xanthippe or something, I'm sure she can handle someone who blathers as much as you do." Meg scoffed at the young soldier who was trying to woo her with more of his words.
