'I'm a liar, to begin with.'
I wasn't always a goddess, you see. My only real power was my beauty - you'll have heard. It's legendary. But that was never going to be enough for me.
It took a web of lies to convince the gods of Olympus I was one of them. But I did. I was that good. Zeus gave me a title and riches and loved me. And all he wanted in return was for me to love him back.
But of course, Zeus was a tyrant. (Not entirely surprising when you're ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power.) I couldn't live at someone's mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bit's not a lie... I intended to win.
