TALES OF THE HERCAVERSE

01-07-99b. From Joan Lieb. The bust from Aphrodite's Temple in Xena's "The Quill is Mightier" (also the Lost Athena bust from Xena's "Lost Mariner") is also the same bust that appears as Aphrodite in Hercules' "Love Takes a Holiday." Just another bit of useless trivia for us hardcore nutballs to mull over.
