Aphrodite is looking for love in all the wrong places. It's the story of where she came from, her side of her doomed marriage with Hephaestus, and how the love of her very, very long life was a tree baby.
The creature is Buffardello, a small, bearded fairy from Italy with many, many weird hobbies.

We never get explicit, but Aphrodite is Aphrodite. She gets together with a lot of guys. There's also a lot of infidelity this week. It's Greek mythology...
Additionally, she curses a girl to fall in love with her father and falls in love with the baby resulting from that union (after the baby grows into an attractive man).
I love how engaging it is to listen to this story. I feel like I easily learned more about the infamous Aphrodite and all her adventures.
