Alright, time to focus on the resolution of the myth. After Hephaestus trapped Ares and I, he was content with leaving us there for eternity. However, I am thankful that Poseidon was there to keep such a cruel thing from happening. Hephaestus was skeptical of releasing us because he thought that Ares would flee the scene without enduring his punishment. Poseidon encouraged Hephaestus to let us go, and promised to pay Ares' debt if he ran away. Hephaestus reluctantly let us go. Ares fled to Thrace, and I to Paphos of Cyprus, where I was born. There stands my grove and altar, the sacred place I go to renew my spirit.
