Hello all! I'm back with Alienor of Aquitaine! She's finally getting her due! This mini series will be the start of my third season, and speaking of threes, her story will be old in three parts. I'll go over that in the show.

Thank you for your patience! Because I have used so many sources, if you have questions, I'll happily provide them. That said, here are some of the sources I used:

Hello again! This is part II covering the romantic escapades of the goddess of love, sex, and desire; APHRODITE! This time, I discuss her relationships with two moral men: Adonis and Anchises, and her involvement in dealing with the love lives of a few mortal couples. Get your tea, get your snacks, and let's get to it!
