Episode notes
#artemis The version of the Greek Artemis has long been a thorn in my side. As I collected more and more stories of a goddess that can be as vicious as she is caring, and as vengeful as she is protective, I realized early on that she was being purposely overlooked as a powerful divinity of righteous rage and dark vengeance. She is very clearly a goddess who kills without a second thought — a mercenary, a goddess who takes no prisoners and often offers no forgiveness, her arrows shoot to kill, and she is more fearsome than historically imagined. It is this Artemis who draws the loyalty and commitment of her followers, particularly women, as her main victims are men whose hubris is punishable by death. (Dr. Carla Ionescu, from her book "She Who Hunts", 79)
