<em>Venus was flabbergasted. She defied Hypnos finally, and in the very same moment, she equipped herself with another insolent suiter, well, a much more attractive, and much less wearisome, but still...<br/><br/>The Great Goddess of Love had two great liaisons, two amorous deities shared her endearments, two mighty Olympic Gods, who would faint with jealousy had they learned about the proposal of the man, to compensate for the help with a kiss.<br/><br/>"I will give you ten golden Olympic coins. That's enough to live on for the rest of your life. I will give you my grace. I will give you the chance to meet the most beautiful young woman in the country, the daughter of Helena and Leonidas. I will present you to the nymphs in their forest realm. But do not plead for a kiss, because you will enrage my husband and my lover. I am a Goddess of Love, and I bestow love and beauty and grace, but I do not involve in intimacy with everyone since every mortal desires me. You solved my problem. I am not ungrateful. But here is another problem. My delights are not a trading unit. I am a sublime creature and can communicate sensually only when I am in love. That Hypnos did not understand, but I hope you will. I am an affluent and magnificent Goddess, especially celebrated by the Bright Side, and though a Goddess of Love I am not promiscuous. Know that you are spiritually a child for me."<br/><br/>That said, the Great Goddess bowed and kissed his cheek with a kiss soft as the warm breeze Zephyros. Then she said: "Do not brag about this young man, or you might get in trouble." Rustling crinoline, she headed to the spot of festivity, her golden hair shining as if sprinkled with fairy pollen. </em>
