"But the god of battle kept no blind man's watch. As soon as he saw the Master Craftsman leave he plied his golden reins and arrived at once and entered the famous god of fire's mansion, chafing with lust for Aphrodite crowned with flowers. She'd just returned from her father's palace, mighty Zeus, and now she sat in her rooms as Ares strode right in and grasped her hand with a warm, seductive urging: "Quick, my darling, come, let's go to bed and lose ourselves in love! Your husband's away - by now he must be off in the wilds of Lemnos, consorting with his raucous Sintian friends." So he pressed and her heart raced with joy to sleep with War."
