All Comments on 'Aphrodite's Prey'

Been a while, Mr. Anderson. Thanks for the new story. Glad you're back. Randi.

My first thought after reading this sweet tale was Pete Seeger singing:

/

We will pray with Aphrodite,

She’s beautiful but flighty,

And she wears that see-through nightie,

And it's good enough for me.

/

Give me that old, time religion…

Homer sings your praises. Aesop bestows honors. You are truly gifted in keeping Literotica from storming off down The River Styx. All my life, I have sought to make Greek/Roman Mythology literarily workable within my own limited talents of story telling. I read it for insight, fun and inspiration; but when I write, I can't give it form and systematic substance the way you do. Perhaps I fail as a true believer. (Just jesting.) Please don't confess that you just had coffee with Calliope. Klem.

Awesome take on a fabulous story. Wonderfully told.

loved every second of it.

5 stars

Cagivagurl.

Yes! What a great surprise. A new GA story, and as expected it's extremely good and really original. I hope we will see more of your stories again.

Interesting story!

5

I don't like LW sci-fi but this was well written.

One annoying point was when the wife gets home after a week and Jeff goes to work!

5* nonetheless.

Well that wad a different story to start the week with! A true Loving Wife in the Loving Wife pantheon. 5* all the way.

Never predictable! Always top drawer writing! Thanks again for sharing with us

Wow! A new George Anderson story to start the week and a doozy! But puhleeeze George, don’t authorize any more alternate endings! Cause…yikes!

Great story. We do have to overlook the oddity that husband goes to work the day after wife returns after being missing for several days.

All that build up and we still don't know what the birthday gift was. Damn you George Anderson, February Sucks, oh wait, it's October.

Terrific story, George! Fun, sexy, eerie!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ wow great story!

Very unique & original.

Great writing ✍️

I wonder how things might have turned out if the Greek god had been a male? Maybe not so well. It's good to see a story by GA. D

With a few pithy lines this could have been an HDK story. Clever and a good ride. Five stars; well done!

Welcome back!

George Anderson is back!!! What a 5+* way to start the week.

.

Of course, to nit pick . . . his wife comes back after being missing for a week, and he heads right off to work?

What an unusual story. An actual loving wife in the Loving Wives section. Thanks.

Another 5* story.

But what was this perfect present?

Welcome back, sir. Any truth to the rumor that while you were gone you... naah, that's totally unbelieveable. Unless...

So wonderful to see another GeorgeAnderson story! And, again, this hit all the points--love, forgiveness, strongly defined male and female characters. I especially enjoyed the mythology you created here, adapting traditional mythology, but very much making it your own. Five very well-deserved stars and a sincere hope that it won't be so long before another story comes down the pike!

Fun story! Sort of Saddletramp-ish, which is not a bad thing. Glad to see you active again, GA.

A fun story and a good read.

Wow, so thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you and it is such a joy to see a new story

An original story which I thoroughly enjoyed. Writing something original on this site is no mean feat as the site thrives on tropes or alternate versions of already published stories (the latter item is pretty ridiculous to mention in a note on a George Anderson story).

Minor quibble point from a mythology lover: Greek god pantheon - Aphrodite, Eros, Hephaestus. Roman/Latin god pantheon - is Venus, Cupid, Vulcan. Since Mt. Olympus (in Greece) is referenced and "Cupid" was writing in ancient Greek, seems like they should have all had their Greek names, or at least all had the same pantheon names. However, didn't affect the story for me, and my guess is that 99% of readers have no idea about the difference.

This was a great story until the end. Yes, they are back together, but somehow I expected the new last minute birthday present would somehow be something to put Aphrodite in her place.

What a way to come back! A completely original story is a unicorn in LW, and you pulled it off beautifully. 5 big stars.

Hooked

Love is the greatest gift. Enjoyed the reading, Thanks for your writing.

That was a fun read, thank you, 5*

I don’t know. If my wife had been missing for a week and then showed up right before I left for work, I’m pretty sure getting to work on time would have to take a back seat to finding out what the hell had happened to her.

So, what was his present?

That was very different, thank you.

Aphrodite for the Greeks, Venus for the Romans, Astarte for the Phoenicians, Ishtar for the Akkadians and Assirians, and most of all, Inanna for the Sumerians: how many names this Goddess had in the past ? Being the grandaughter of the most important God, the sumerian Enlil, she was one of the powerful Goddess of the ancient times. Good tale, maybe more Romance than LW.

George's senility is getting worse. A monkey throwing shit against a wall could have come up with a better premise.

Stupid

This one won't spawn a hundred imitators, I'm thinking. A little too out there.

Hmm... loving, devoted wife in a perfect marriage has her lust switch flipped in an instant by a larger than life figure, and is helpless to stop herself from embarking on a hedonistic romp, but manages to return to her idyllic life...

This is February sucks, but swap out a jock for a goddess, and minus the engaging introspection that made the original worth reading. Eh.

Certainly a novel approach for LW. Interesting effot. The NT is not written in classical Greek cerca 500BC. It's coiné. Learn to use pronouns correctly instead of lapsing into lazy woketardism.

My goodness, your imagination put down in words, is most intoxicating. However, you have done me wrong. When my husband finished reading this to me, he disappeared for about a half hour downstairs. When he returned, all excited and smiling, he had his old Dungeons and Dragons Demigods book in his hand. OMG, I thought those days were done. My strong, sexy, masculine husband was once again a dungeon master...and no, it's not that type of dungeon. What have you done?.

Sorry. Just stupid. Bereft of entertainment.

.

2 **

I like how you are still trying to justify cheating no matter what the excuse, and then the other spouse accepting it. The use of a goddess is a new twist. 5*

The man who spawned a thousand sequels!

Well done. I like when the bizarre pops into everyday life.

Meh! A modern but weak Greek tragedy

Nice flight of fancy. Thanks for an updated version of an ancient story.

Time to kill some puny gods however....

A big thumbs up for this story I enjoyed it to the end.

Nice, BUT … this is clearly SciFi, or Supernatural, or First Time, or Non-Consensual. But We-The-Readers did not get much detail of Sweetie’s experience except Cupid’s non-detailed reflections and less of the same by Aphrodite.

Good Read, but unrated under LW.

Addendum

Also We-The-Readers do NOT get to see much of Sweetie’s adjustment to her family. IMHO, a critical part of LW is the adjustments of the couple’s (in this story including the young kids) re-orientation. Sweetie obviously is ignorant of the length of her absence, reinforced, for some reason, by Hubby’s coping mechanism. The hints of Sweetie’s recovery is just a starting point for the real LW part of this tale. But that will almost certainly will be helping Sweetie/Mom to process the actions she could not control… until Goddess of Love gave Sweetie time to sober up.

You lost me when he went to work the day she came home after almost a week.

Many readers consuming this tale are going to get lost in the mythology portion. However, I was enjoying the spin on the LW part of the Goddess of Love being the antagonist in the tale.

Use of the lesser god Cupid to keep the husband moving forward made it an intriguing spin. Using the strength of her love for family to override the intensity of her lust to me letting the good guy’s win was great.

Just another Outstanding Read ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from you. Glad to see you are still creating products for our consumption. Thank you for this one it made me remember my time in the Mediterranean and smile.

Keep Writing

JH4Fun

One can't argue with the fact you are willing t try something different. I'm not going to give this one a rating as I'm torn between the valiant attempt to bring something different to LW and the sheer stupidity of the story, and I don't mean the Fantasy aspect, I mean the actions of everyone in the story.

I loved it. Full. stop.

There seems to always be readers clamoring for something different--by golly, this is something different!

***** and well earned. cd

Ahhh, but there’s the missing part. The husband accepted Gina having lesbian sex with Aphrodite, but what if Hephaestus had taken a turn with her?

How delightful to find a new GA story! Thank you Sir George?

"Chops"

Welcome back GA. We missed you!

Definitely different but a true “Loving Wife.” An excellent tale.

Great story George! Thanks for sharing it.

Well done.

George....it was a fun read. I found it a great little mashup off mythology and a Hallmark romance.

Original. Unique. Funny. 5*

A sincere thank you!

Once Gina relates what had happened with her and the goddess, Jeff announces that he will be having a weeklong holiday where he will fuck an escort everyday. That way Gina can live the experience he had.

ROMANCE... AND A VERY GOOD ONE.

Very well done... a blend of mythology and modern-day life and love that winds up in a "happily ever after" ending that seems to fit the tale well.

5 *****

GeorgeAnderson had painted himself into a corner, without meaning to. But lack of intent didn’t change the fact that “February Sucks” became the greatest phenomenon in Loving Wives history. And for over 3 years after it posted, GA’s only presence on the site was as an acknowledged co-editor or beta-reader on stories by others (e.g., Randi, Stev). After so much time, this reader had long ago concluded that since it would be impossible to match that story’s impact, following it up would be an impossibility. Therefore, it is little surprise that his first story since was so untethered to reality. Normally, I would have read it, not saved it, and not commented. But this was a historic event, and therefore deserves preservation and notice. The usual suspects (as noted above, Randi and Stev, along with Cagiva and Matt) quickly posted comments, all raves. And for what this was, I have to agree. That being said, this sort of mythological stuff really isn’t my thing. But as such things go, this was done quite well. And you’ve got to love a happy ending. Or, at least I do. I should really hold off on sending this in until next month, when I finally register with the site as QuickMagazine. But since I noted that none of the early comments were posted under “Anonymous,” I was curious to see if perhaps GA chose to exclude Anons from the board. Considering all the abuse heaped on “FS,” I wouldn’t blame him. So if this doesn’t post today, I’ll presumably post it later on once I’ve registered. (Probably with updates, revisions, since I draft these things offline, and then copy and paste them into the small comments box)

4*, because we never are told what the birthday present was

Aphrodite and Cupid? Please- fictional characters in Greek mythology. Here's how to save the story- throw in some modern day reality, say with a couple named Jim and Linda. With over a hundred stories written about them, they're today's reality. Now, Gina, in looking for her perfect one of a kind birthday gift for her husband, goes to her favorite sales clerk Linda, who had been recently divorced in a nasty and public way. Linda is now shacked up with her best friend Dee, who's seeing some jerk named Marc on the side......

George Anderson is officially off Hiatus!!! Came roarin' back!! This is a great, happy, fun, and imaginative story delivered with the usual panache, style, and, yes, class. Fiver!

What they said.

LOVE slap-hapy-papy #9

Feels almost like a support piece for Feb Sucks. An explanation of how a devoted living wife can walk off with a “Greek god” but still return with her love for her husband and family intact.

A Homeric slut ray in action

It was always suggested that the ancient gods were to be feared rather than loved. They regarded mortals as their playthings. Approximately half of all pregnancies in Ancient Greece were supposed to be as a result of Zeus’s fondness for a bit of mortal tail, if the stories are to be believed 😂

It was interesting but way too weird for my tastes.

Someone called her a loving wife. I think not. More like a well worn whore.

What was that?

I hope that this does not lead to another long stream of LW diarrhea.

Really glad to have one of the greats back. Even with a fairy tale

imaginative

B S

Hi, I was excited to see your name as author and I certainly wasn’t disappointed! A really fun read. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

An old curmudgeon

Great story, good imagination... loved it - 5* Ignore the negative idiots who get theirs by offing others, they lack self-respect, so they bolster themselves (in their own eyes) by downing others... they are the ones who need help.

Fun, but as others said, he goes to work?

Regardless of the plot, GA's stories are basically the same. The wife turns into a wanton slut, the guy accepts it and they live happily ever after.

Not a story that was easy to relate to. GA’s stories are often so spot on they raise the ire of all who read them. Here, a Goddess stole a wife. Nope, not a tale that resonated. Nevertheless, interesting, if not compelling. February Sucks beats it all to hell, but doesn’t have the score that it deserved. GA is sorely underrated on this site.

Good story. BUT…..what was it she drove all over town looking for, for Jeff’s birthday to get this story started?

A truly unique and well written story of considerable insight and originality.

and quite boring. I literally fell asleep twice trying to finish the story

"But you know you don't have to worry about other guys. I want you to be sure, sure, sure of that."

\

Well, you mean other Mortal guys. You set the precedent, so if some Greek God descends upon this whore she'll be fucking his brains out faster than you can say Marc LaValliere. She's already proven she's a pretty easy mark, and if one of the male Greek Gods want her why not just take her; that's how it works, right? Maybe someone will write That sequel.

\

But that's the problem with Science Fiction/Fantasy stories, they don't have to make any sense since they operate outside the boundaries of a normal world made up of normal people. This story is cute, but its in the Wrong category. Why? Its not like you are some new writer, still learning the territory. In the end there is Nothing to think or care about this story since there is nothing to relate to or evaluate. If a God makes her her fuck toy what power can overwhelm that? And if Love can overwhelm that then why did the Love not assert itself until after she had days of Heavenly Mind Blowing Lesbian sex? And why won't she continue to reminisce and explore that Lesbian thrill if she gets the opportunity again? And so what if she does, its just magic fantasy fag cuck shit? Not a Loving Wives story, but thanks for the effort.

I ended up rating this ⭐️⭐️.

The story was fine and and it's completely original but the Olympians don't play. There is zero chance that there could be a happy ending.

Gina would probably have to watch her husband and sons die in horrific fashion because the gods are petty and vengeful.

Welcome back George!

I enjoythis one

WOW George I have read almost all of your works and this one is JUST SO different and sure is a dozy (JAYBEE186)

A little different from the usual, but an excellent story by a master storyteller. 5 Stars

Well the hate is surprising. GA has always had talent regardless of how attractive his characters are or aren't.

I also disagree with some who believe this story doesn't inspire other writers to explore this particular plot device.

I've been constructing a framework ever since reading this.

Say what you will but George definitely inspires and provokes creative thoughts in others.

No need to point out the obvious evidence of my claims as it's only four months until the fateful and hated month.

Lovely tale. Thank you!

That was fun. Thank you for a unique tale. DMW aka Sumnut96

Silly is good. Ludicrous and contorted isn't

"Did they think just because she was good looking, she was some air headed bimbo who didn't know what she wanted" best line in the story. I always found mythology fascinating humans making their gods act human lol

Entertains and well written. 4.1*

Take on this theme well written thank you

No thank you...

Aphrodite being a goddess should not be compared with Marc Lavalhoweveryouspellhisname. Marc L was very persuasive, but he was still a mortal; the Greek gods simply overpower mere mortals.

.

I do agree with the complaints about mixing the Greek and Roman names for the gods, though few know that Eros was the Greek name for Cupid.
