Aphrodite and the Cat: Old Habits Die Hard - Greek Mythology in Comics - See U in History

The ancient Greek fable recounts that a cat eventually became deeply in love with its owner. The cat wanted nothing more than to be made into a real woman. She went to Aphrodite's temple to pray to the goddess of love, asking the goddess to fulfill her wish. Aphrodite was moved by the love this cat had for his owner and decided to help her. The goddess of love turned the cat into a beautiful young woman, so beautiful that no man could resist. The boy immediately fell in love with the woman-shaped cat, and it wouldn't be long before they were married. On their wedding night, however, Aphrodite brought a mouse into the couple's quarters to see if the cat's makeover had been complete. Instead of screaming as expected of any woman, the girl began to chase the rat. She jumped on it and took it, but the worst was yet to come. The girl gobbled up the rat with sheer veracity, much to her husband's astonishment. Aphrodite understood the mistake she had made. Some people may change their appearance, but they don't lose their old habits.
