Aphrodite's Trouble
As I looked in my compact mirror, I thought about my flawless complexion, my streaming golden hair and my pearly teeth, I thought no wonder they are jealous of me. Not only am I hardly related to any of them, I'm Zeus's favourite and all the heroes love me!
But just one bad thing came of all this lovely attention. They didn't take me seriously. They think I'm just this one, massive fake. Don't they realise that I am ridiculously powerful? It was me who started the Troy war? Poor Helen, she actually thought the war was caused by me? When really Paris thought I was the most beautiful of me, Athena and Hera.
I hate people making bad things of my name. Even my island has turned into some tacky holiday resort! Cyprus was a lovely sophisticated island but now some resort for people who think they're amazing, the pure history of my birth is there!
I snapped my mirror shut, smoothed my white Grecian dress and went for a walk across Mount Olympus and thought about my next interaction with a hero down in the mortal world.
