    Maybe Artemis saw all the failed relationships her brother was getting into and decided to stay as far away from romance as possible.
  • Artemis is like mother nature beautiful carin and loving but also deadly and vicous

    Random Greeks: Minding their own business Greek Gods: So you have chosen death

    Artemis: Yeah I’m not really into dudes or girls Apollo: It’s free real estate
  • Her role with children is one of my favorite aspects of Artemis, the italian folkstory regarding her is my favorite tale in which two children are orphaned and pray to the statue of with a doe suckling on her thumb. She cared deeply for the children and brought them fresh food that she had hunted or gathered for the children. They thanked her with what they had, witch was the bones of the meal and her flowers and natural gifts that were of the domain. Artemis greatly pleased by there humble offerings cared for the children for many years leaving the townsfolk to wonder how they were still alive. Long story short a hypocritical priest try to bully the children into being his servants casting heresy upon Artemis dishonoring the statue buy hurling on the ground and shoveling it in mud which caused the head of the statue to roll. Short time later and man the precept killed's head was on his bed when he awoke. She is strait up gangster, maybe her folkstory inspired the Godfather who knows

    Artemis has always been y favorite goddess. I always really liked that she was aromantic and that though she hunted, she cared strongly for the environment. she's also one of the few that had a sibling relationship
  • @Never_heart
    Artemis is one of my favourite goddesses. Her strong personality and devotion to her own ideals was always inspiring.
  • As an aromantic asexual with a passion for archery I can proudly say that she is my most favourite goddess
  • @Lubon0208
    Out of all gods and goddesses, Artemis and Hades are the ones likeable enough 😂 Edit: There are also other gods but i cant name all of them so...

    "The other goddesses helped Leto give birth." We love when women help out other women.
  • @sekai9906
    How could you talk about artemis and not talk about her beloved harem, the nymphs ? She was so found of women that she had her father Zeus give her a group of virgin women, who followed her no matter where she went.

    Artemis is very graceful💜💜💜 When it comes to Orion's death the one I learned was when Apollo made Artemis kill him unknowingly.
  • After knowing Artemis' story, I can confirm that she's my patron goddess. I've always been interested in archery and the constellation Orion since I was a kid. The constellation is always visible when you look up in the sky from our house and I make wishes on it when I was a kid😅 Also, I prefer the companion of animals than humans and I don't like being in a romantic relationship. I can relate so much to her.
