APHRODITE

Narrator Kristin Atherton leads a full cast of performers in this vivid and irreverent retelling of the story of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. Despite having been born in utter darkness, Aphrodite has become one of the most connected goddesses on Mount Olympus. Now she finds herself perpetually having to reassert her power while dealing with the whims of the Fates and a full realm of chaotic immortals. Atherton captures Aphrodite's dry humor and sarcasm as her story wends through a bevy of heroes, nymphs, and dryads. Listeners soon learn that Aphrodite always has to have the last word.
