I really like Aphrodite's concept of beauty! Especially how beauty points to something beyond itself. And distinguishing between false beauty and true beauty. Really good stuff!

Thanks Patricia! Yes, Aphrodite has been through a significant transformation - if not metamorphosis - over the centuries! The Sky-Veil is her latest evolution. As Hölderlin lamented, "the gods have fled" and Olympus abandoned. In the Sky-Veil, they return to bemuse us - and us them - again!

Thank you so much. I am so happy for your comments. That's exactly what I'm looking for in the presentation of "The Heralds" - Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera. It's like threading a needle, and I am pleased that it communicates as I had hoped. I want to inspire others to think more deeply, and using the Heralds to do that feels more creative than simply writing another essay. Stay tuned - Athena is on deck!
