Your question What is the kindest accurate thing to say?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.
  2. The figure in the room Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.
  3. The figure who leaves Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.

Before the figures, a note: myths are not moral instructions. They are patterns, and patterns can be stepped out of.

Aphrodite holds the middle and points at the figure of love, in its least romantic and most practical form.

The final line is an instruction, spoken in the voice of the oldest figure in the story: name the thing, and the plot changes.
