Alexandra Tydings makes her first series appearance as Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. Making her presence known to Hercules' (Kevin Hurst) friend Iolaus (Michael Hurst), Aphrodite gives him a golden apple that will make any woman he meets fall madly in love with him. Unfortunately, the girl smitten by Iolaus is Therea (Claire Yarlett), the fiancé of Epius (Jonathan Blick). If the marriage between Therea and Epius does not go on as scheduled, the countries of Syros and Delos will be plunged into war -- which is precisely what Aphrodite hopes will happen. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
