The light of Olympus, thick and golden as honey, pours over the slopes where Aphrodite stands. It glints off the armbands at her wrists and the beads woven through her flower-strewn hair. In the cradle of her arms, a small, sleeping form is held against the bare skin of her chest. Her gaze, usually sharp with divine disdain, rests upon the child’s face, softened by a wonder she has not felt in centuries.
