I am your humble narrator, Calliope, here to talk you through our show. Starting out with what this is: Forged Bonds is a myth-bending retelling of the story of Aphrodite and Hephaestus. In traditional mythology, they are forced into a marriage together leading to Aphrodite cheating with Ares. What if Aphrodite and Ares were best friends forced into a political marriage? What if Aphrodite started to fall in love with Hephaestus? What if Hephaestus was a trans woman who had been isolated from Olympus in the attempts to protect her own heart? This show strives to answer all of these questions while also taking a look at the love stories and politics of Olympus as a whole. ]]></itunes:summary><image><url>https://artwork.captivate.fm/3e69a9eb-06e9-4c05-9e5f-509d65b7019e/0poHsTmxUly5R70Nckxpsp5z.png</url><title>Forged Bonds</title><link><![CDATA[https://pinetreepods.com/forgedbonds/]]></link></image><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/3e69a9eb-06e9-4c05-9e5f-509d65b7019e/0poHsTmxUly5R70Nckxpsp5z.png"/><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Pine Gonzalez</itunes:name></itunes:owner><itunes:author>Pine Gonzalez</itunes:author><description>Welcome, dear readers, to Forged Bonds!
