Getting Down&Dirty with Mortals, Aphrodite, Anchises&the Mysteries of Archaic Aeneas - a podcast by Liv, Greek Mythology Geek

When Aphrodite gets with mortals, crazy things happen. Aphrodite's affair with the Trojan Anchises lead to the birth of the Trojan prince Aeneas, a man who's much more interesting before the Romans ever got their hold on him...

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
