325-Greek Myths: The Power of Love
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.
