Mighty Aphrodite! The Web Series represents the first time the goddess Aphrodite has ever appeared in any serialized story of any kind starring the Goddess Aphrodite as the main character since the original myths were written thousands of years ago. She's always either been one of a crowd of other characters based on the Greek gods, or had a more subtle role as a guiding principle for some other character rather than being a character herself.
The series came about while just playing around with this interesting animation program called Plotagon to see what could be made with it. Show creator Gene Turnbow was noodling around with it on his cell phone at about 1 am one sleepless night in May, and produced the beginnings of the first story, which later became the series pilot.
The Mighty Aphrodite! The Web series Kickstarter funded within 24 hours, and by the end of its run had almost doubled its original goal.
Series creator Gene Turnbow also owns and operates Krypton Radio, the world's most popular sci-fi / geek culture radio station.
