Sleepy Curse
To seek revenge on Aphrodite, Hypnos placed a sleepy curse on all mortal women, resulting in them always existing in a state of exhaustion. Because of this, the mortal women’s beauty quickly started to fade as they grew more and more tired. However, Aphrodite quickly came up with a plan to counteract this sleepy epidemic. She instructed her mortal lover to create something that would not only help women wake up but also restore their beauty.
