Assignment #6: Conflict

Hi, I'm back. So I hate to admit it, but I'm quite the drama starter. I'm not very good at keeping stable friendships or faithful relationships. I prove this point in the myth about the love of Ares and I.

I am married to Hephaestus. But like I said before, I am an unfaithful wife. I was not aware of the fact that Hephaestus had suspected anything, but he had. When Hephaestus was out of town, Ares and I committed adultery. We have had an ongoing affair since the beginning of my marriage with Hephaestus, but no one had ever called us out on it. He had recruited gods to spy on the two of us when Hephaestus was "out of town." Ares did indeed come over, and Hephaestus' hypothesis that I was unfaithful was confirmed. Hephaestus had set up snares in our bed that trapped Ares and I. We tried again and again to release ourselves, but were not successful. Hephaestus stood watching, pleased that he had revealed our secret but disappointed in my actions. This incident made my marriage with Hephaestus even more unhappy than it had previously been.
