Introducing Vulcan and Venus

In which a depressed ego of  Vulcan,  endowed with undisputable genius in manufacturing  great   medical appliances and convenient  flying saucers, as well as evil , nevertheless very ingenious, mechanical contraptions,  feels tormented by the goddess of Memory. His thoughts are involuntarily and constantly steered toward the humiliation, that he has suffered at the hands of his unfaithful wife Venus and the disdainful laughter that the gods bestowed upon him, as he exposed  Mars and his wife in the adulterous act.  Vulcan seeks help from Hermes, the messenger of the gods. Hermes manipulates the situation to the considerable relief of Vulcan, thereby  revealing to him an utterly new moral strategy of the Olympians, the moral associated with forgiveness, and which almost all gods, including Mars acclaim as being the best remedy for many such ailments. To emphasize this new-age change in Olympian Universe, where Tit-for-Tat is more and more being relegated to the Titanic Period of Olympian history, Zeus himself appears at the critical moment.

Venus on the other hand seems to have had her fill from the drudgery at her abode in Vulcan's cave, from the horse-trading in the Show-Biz world, from the Business as usual, pathologically formalized, blue-&-white collared. necktie-totemed, distrust–saturated, big-brother stamps-&-signatures monitored, day-light and free-movement-bereft, time-stealing, artificial-lighted, nature-alienated, in concrete nested, biological-inheritance antagonized, caffeine-drugged, family-life-fossilizing urban-commuter and wage-worker realm of Vulcan and even from the big theatre at Olympia. She seeks Apollo and Diana and Demeter, whose realms seem more and more to appeal to her. She recounts her woes to Calliope.
