Mythology: Phyllis and Aristotle
Added 2020-09-18 05:22:13 +0000 UTCMore mythology! Yeah! My favorite thing (right now)!
Although I guess this is more of a work of 'historical fiction' than myth. It was a very popular story in Europe for a very long time. I think it works as a fun continuation of the last thing I did, which also featured Aristotle.

Aristotle (unfortunately) is so desperate for approval and validation from women that he'll let one humiliate him and do things he doesn't like (he doesn't really enjoy the BDSM), just because he wants to be with someone.
