Myth one:
Hermes an Aphrodite
The messenger god and ‘divine trickster’ Hermes was
among the several admirers of Aphrodite. However
when Aphrodite rejected his advances, Hermes became
depressed and disheartened. Looking at the grim
condition of the playful Hermes, Zeus pitied him and
dicided to help. Once when Aphrodite was bathing in
the river Achelous, Zeus send a eagle to take her sandal
and bring it to Hermes. When Aphrodite finally go
seeking for her sandal, Hermes seduced her in exchange
for returning the sandal and obtained his desire with her.
He then rewarded the eagle by putting it in the sky
where it became the constellation Aqtilla.
