Over 2000 years ago the fall of the Gods and Goddesses started. The introduction of Christianity into Rome and Greece caused the demise of deities everywhere. The lack of worship and sacrifice cause them to fall from Olympus and lose most of their powers. However, they still maintain their immortality, but they are cursed to forever roam the earth unknown.

This story follows Persephone, once queen of the Underworld, who's been running from her family since their fall from grace. 

For the first time in centuries, she's let herself be found. Some can't help but wonder, why now?

No longer do the Olympians invite him over to Olympus for their meetings, nor do mortals pay attention to the forgotten god. However, the last straw came when the Olympians schemed against him and took away the only thing that ever made him happy.

The Love of Aphrodite - Book 1 by Teah09
43 parts Complete Mature
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty is forced into an unwanted marriage the very evening she emerges from the sea. While Hephaestus is not terrible to her, she can't help but be enticed by his forbidden brother, Ares, and the other Gods who send her longing glances. Will she settle for Hephaestus or will she search for more for her own love story? *This story follows along some of Aphrodite's romances while married to Hephaestus. This story will not be a perfect timeline but will however, follow along a rough timeline according to my other book, Hades and Persephone.* *Also, Aphrodite has her faults. A fair amount of faults in fact! If you know her mythology she turns out to be a very vengeful, self-centred, and self-involved Goddess, but this story is all about her slowly progressing throughout her marriage to Hephaestus. A sequel will follow beyond once this marriage ends.* *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.
