If Savage Mojo's Dogs of Hades RPG can best be described as Dune, with Spartans, in outer space, then Young Love Aphrodite can safely be said to be Shakespeare, with Athenians, on a distant planet.
In this One Sheet Adventure you must help the merchant-prince Parmenio steal his true love, the merchant-princess Zoe, from the fortifications of her wealthy father's home. The star-crossed Parmeneo and Zoe belong to rival Houses, and neither family wishes to wed their fortunes to their hated enemies.
Zoe's mother Adara, is a Priestess of Hera. She opposes the union and will do all she can to prevent it from happening.
Euthalia, a Priestess of Aphrodite from neither House, wishes to see true-love prevail and will do all she can to help.
Your task is to keep the young lovers together, and safe, until the secretly arranged wedding at the Temple of Athena can occur. Oh, and you may need to find an extra witness or two, in case you or other members of your party don't survive.
Three fun and exciting scenes are outlined in this adventure, but you can easily stretch it out to four or five to further flesh out the background info, then fold the tale into your campaign.
Although this adventure is essentially Romeo & Juliet, with Greek temples and bounty hunters, it does provide the possibility of a happy ending, earning an Olympian thumbs up.
Onwards!

Note: Dogs of Hades: One Sheet: Young Love: Hera flips the proverbial coin and presents this tale from the opposite perspective.
