A prequel of Entwined by AJ Rosen. A story of Queen Sienna Rose Stavros, the first queen of the Hellenicus despite how oppressed the women in Greece were that time. Ironically, Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, was trapped in a loveless marriage; Athena, the wisest of beings, always deferred to Zeus; and Hera, Goddess of Marriage, was married to the worst serial adulterer ever known. The Greek Goddesses shared in the oppression of ancient mortal women, and their example is important to the history of feminism. Thus I hope through this short story, you get a glimpse of what she actually did in order to change the women's roles and the perspectives about women within the Hellenicus. Cover by @jesshartjes
