How to Reach a Ceasefire Agreement; Ares and Hephaestus Make Peace; Fireside Folklore with Hades, Season 2, Episode 5-2

Send over your dead SMS messages.Greetings, listeners! The tale I've been wanting to tell, The Golden Pail, requires far more characters than we have deities for! This is primarily because a few of us, including myself, are at odds, and we're all too stubborn to move from our entrenched positions. However, if I am to rail against you mortals, or rather your elected and appointed officials, for their zeal for war, then it would behoove me to try and broker some ceasefire agreements amongst my Olympian family. After all, I despise hypocrisy! This week, I approached Ares at his battle encampment and posed the idea that he extend an olive branch to Hephaestus. Though he was initially reluctant, my nephew pulled through and with Orpheus's help, he was able to sing his way to victory! It will be great to have Aphrodite, Ares, and Hephaestus on the same show at the same time. The war god made it look so easy. Something tells me that Hera and I won't make peace by sitting around a campfire singing kumbaya.
