Ulysses is forever haunted by the lost loves of his travels represented by the naked Aphrodite.
The cover feature this month is Neptunus-the King of the sea, and a modern day Hash legend among many of his fans. His years of hashing and putting on extraordinary events in amazing places is definitely the stuff that legends are made of.
