Chapter 2 - No One Dies From Love
“The soul of a god is not so different from a mortal’s.”
Chapter 2 of Psychopompos - a new mythology opens at dawn in Aphrodite's temple, where Psyche wakes to Apollo's mocking sun on her face, before introducing us to Ares, the God of War, and his fiery relationship with Aphrodite, the shapeshifting Goddexx of Love, as they unfold their designs for Olympus. Meanwhile, under Mt. Etna, Hephaestus and his divine forge continue work on a god-slaying weapon with the assistance of the Idol of Death, Thanatos. Finally, high in a prison tower, Icarus and his father Daedalus rue the circumstances which led them to this place, before being interrupted by Hermes, the Psychopomp and Messenger of Olympus, who wants to visit with Icarus, his secret fiancé.
