I always thought Aphrodite couldn’t fall in love, but after reading this, I decided to research it more. I really enjoyed this and found myself completely engrossed in the story 🫶🏻
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes, it's a cool twist, and it's amazing how greek myths always have surprises to discover! The exact source for that episode is Homeric Hymn 5. Also, Aphrodite falls in love at a different point in time to a mortal named Adonis for similar reasons, though I believe in that instance she was scratched by Eros' arrow by mistake! Off the top of my head, if you are interested in that one too, I believe that it is covered in Ovid's Metamorphoses Book 8 :)
