    DEDICATION
    To the Greeks and Romans who shared their
wonderful mythologies with the world.

    ***
    Present Day, Mount
Olympus, Home of the Greek Gods and Goddesses
     
    “ Zeus , my husband, god of all gods and goddesses, ruler of Mount
Olympus and my heart, you are mistaken when you say satisfaction
can be guaranteed when pleasuring a woman—strictly a physical state
of being. That a man and a woman need not share a deeper love for
one another to be totally satisfied, and that a marriage that binds
them forever is unnecessary.” Hera stroked his curly gray hair and
nipped at his ear, her fingers trailing down his naked
chest.
    Zeus leaned over and kissed his wife’s
cheek, his hands touching her bare shoulder in whisper soft
caresses. “Hera, goddess of marriage and married women, and my
beautiful wife, you are wrong.” He gave her one of his dimpled smug
smiles. “Whether love exists or not between a man and woman, the
sexual act is all that is required between mortal and immortals
alike to fulfill the need connecting them. Take Asarian as a prime
example. As demi-god of pleasure, he imparts sexual gratification
to women who have never before experienced such a wonder. Neither
he nor they fall in love. ‘Tis a lustful joining of the bodies, and
both male and female are totally satiated, blissfully satisfied in
the end. It is an experience they cherish forevermore. What more
could we wish for?”
    She nuzzled her face against Zeus’s
broad, bare shoulder. “But ‘tis not a joining of the souls. The act
alone does not complete them. The sexual intrigue does excite the
couple for the moment, true. But the next morning, the woman has
doubts. Regrets. She feels used, degraded. A man mayhap is just as
content, satisfying his sexual urges. But ‘tis the long-term
commitment which makes the couple whole.” Hera wound a golden curl
around her finger, considering her husband’s words, irritated that
he oft had trysts with mortals and immortals alike either through
trickery or by capturing their hearts and had done so only this
morning with some Scottish lass while Hera visited with her maids.
She sighed deeply, revenge sweet whenever she took these women to
task. Walking over to the Pool of Visions, she peered into the
crystal clear water and swept her finger in circles in the warm
liquid.
    Zeus chuckled darkly. “So it will be a
contest of wills again, my love.”
    “ Aye.” She studied the
images of women in various occupations all over the world—soldiers,
doctors, store clerks, teachers, nurses…a librarian. Too cliché .
    For three hours, she considered
hundreds of thousands of candidates. In the end, she came back to
the librarian, petite, pretty in a boring way, unwed, and best of
all…
    Hera smiled. A twenty-six-year-old
virgin. “The librarian is my choice.” She folded her arms, totally
smug. “Now, my husband, find a man who will give her pleasure, that
will make her complete without either of
