As you have already guessed, most songs make me think of Alfonso. So I'm not telling you anything new...

María, veo que cambiaste tu avatar. Dejaste los campos ingleses por la
tierra mas cálida de Miguelangel. ¿Por las canciones de los angeles o de los cupidos?

[Iris]

I hadn't thought of cupids, but now that you say it...
I was looking for an avatar that would reflect my much-talked-about innocence.

[poli]

I think cupids are innocent gods of love as opposed to Aphrodite who
appears more practiced.

Lo que se interesa de Afrodita es que, en la antigüedad, era una diosa fuertísima. Solo es más después que ella se hace un accesorio para los cuentos de dioses más importantes como Apolo. Así es el amor. Empieza tan fuerte e importante solo para acabar débil y risible.

[Iris]

Te veo muy pesimista. Love trouble?

[gatitoverde]

Actually, Iris, I'm one of those weird birds who've never loved. I only made the comment because I thought people would respond to it. And I should note that Aphrodite has several varying antecedants---a powerful goddess of the sea, a goddess of the dawn with much of the power you would expect to be ascribed thereto, etc.

Artemis, Apollo's twin and the goddess of the hunt--for those of you who don't know--has a similar split personality, being tied to Selena, an older moon goddess.

Venus en mi opinión es una diosa formidable. Fuerte como Hércules, pero
mas influencial. Es es la primera conquistadora. Consulta el señor Botticelli.
El cofirmirá lo que digo.
