Synopsis:
Welcome, dear readers, to Forged Bonds! 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.

There are many stories of the gods. They are ancient, after all, and all knowing and ever-present and all of those lovely things people like to ascribe to whatever current lot is running around. But before there were those gods, there were these gods. You have heard tales of them, I’m certain, but not all of them true. Some, of course, were true, but this story that I am laying out for you today is far truer than any you have heard before. This story, my dear listener, is the story of Aphrodite and Hephaestus. I’m sure you think you know how this story goes, but history has a funny way of losing the pieces that matter. What you will hear today is the truth of their story, of their love. Because yes, my dear listener, they were in love despite everything the more popular stories will try and tell you.
Welcome, dear listeners, to Forged Bonds.
Coming in late 2024
