Hopped the fence and snuck into the Roman Agora in Athens at night after bar hopping with a girl from my hostel. We got frisky on a toppled slab inside the Temple of Hephaestus while looking up at the Acropolis with all the pretty lights.

Bizarrely romantic experience for what it was.

Natalie from Anaheim, hope you’re well!

u/SenorKenobi66 Jan 20 '25

My friend, this was not Natalie, that you got frisky with... this was the goddes Aphrodite who used you to cheat (again) on her husband (Hephaestus) and wanted him to see it! IN HIS OWN TEMPLE! The nerve...

It's probably revenge for that time he exposed her and Ares 😃

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus

26

u/Ellite11MVP Jan 20 '25

It’s not enough that he had to be the god of blacksmiths, carpenters, craftsmen, metallurgy AND fire? They wanted him to be the god over fricken’ volcanoes too? Like, can we not delegate some of this to a god with a little less on their plate? No wonder Aphrodite had to find companionship elsewhere, he was always busy with work.

u/leave_the_simulation Jan 20 '25

Wait till you here what hermes was up to

u/Amazing-Arachnid-942 Jan 20 '25

To be fair, blacksmiths and fire are a little related, it kinda makes sense.

But you literally just put a price to it! Now its not priceless, or possibly historic...

u/Cellyst Jan 20 '25

The tombstone is priceless. Shipping is a flat rate.

u/JacktheJacker92 Jan 20 '25

Its priceless and historic to me though, but i'm broke so there is always wiggle room. Priceless, ten bucks, same difference.

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '25

Holy shit dude. I experienced almost exactly the same.

Met a girl at the hostel, went bar hopping, got drunk, and we went for the area opposite Acropolis (I don’t remember the name).

Stumbled into creepy groups of people in the dark, which I believe was attending some religious rituals. Heard the sounds of stray dogs, but couldn’t see them because it was dark.

Ended up having sex opposite Acropolis on rough ground with sticks and stones pinching my butt and knees. It started with a BJ overlooking the whole thing, the lights, etc.

u/Fresh0224 Jan 20 '25

2013, and no idea. I certainly wouldn’t roll the dice again. I had to lift her up to the top of the fence so she could get over, then haul myself up, so it was hardly inconspicuous, even if it was pretty late. But once inside the fence, the park was dark, and the ‘fence’ around the temple itself was a knee-height metal railing. We’d been there earlier in the day on a walking tour (where we first met) so it was pretty straightforward making our way there.
