Artemis being barely mentioned, because she’s f-ing off in the woods, and Apollo having way too many stories, because he literally cannot physically restrain himself from keeping out of major shit is…actually very in character for them
-
Honestly, Artemis and Apollo being polar opposites and having completly contrasting mindsets and lives but still partying and vibing together is so siblings
-
When I was on a tour in Delos, my tour guide stated that Artemis was born first, and then assisted with the birth of her brother Apollo, and this was a metaphor for how the wild hunting side of humanity had to come first before things like the arts and music could be created. Always thought that was kinda cool.
-
I love the idea of Artemis, Goddess of the wild and of the hunt, visiting her brother Apollo in his temple to party down, despite their differences, because they really are just the most siblings of all time.
-
I do wonder if Artemis’s whole deal of “terrifying goddess of murder who will kill you if you look at her” is at least partially a way of explaining the concept of “if you go into the woods and don’t know what you’re doing (ie, aren’t a hunter), you will die of Everything and nobody will be able to find your body.” Kinda like every fairy tale with an evil dark forest.
-
It does make me chuckle that Artemis basically has 3 modes: badass huntress, loving sister, and short tempered brat who resolves all her problems with MURDER.
-
Artemis : “we’re making some trouble…” Apollo : “but make it double..”
-
Interestingly, Artemis is often part of a trio: -Herself, Apollo and their mother, Leto -Herself, Athena and Hestia as the Virgin Goddesses -Herself, Persephone and Demeter as Nature Goddesses (as well representing the cycle of womanhood: maiden, lover and mother) -Herself, Hecate and Selene as Moon Goddesses
-
The idea of Diana being worshipped with three different faces actually makes perfect sense for a moon goddess, considering how the moon constantly changes phases.
-
"In some versions, she assisted in her own twin brother's delivery." Baby Artemis: "Don't worry, mom, I got this!" pulls Apollo by the ankles
-
Poseidon warming up and asking if Apollo wants to throw down while Apollo watches Hera beat down Artemis is hilarious. It's the level of confidence Poseidon has and how casually willing he is to beat his nephew.
-
Artemis: I'm not coming into the city just to see your new temple. It's noisy, crowded and I hate it. Apollo: We have a kick-ass band and booze Artemis: You son of a bitch, i'm in.
-
I really like Artemis and Apollo being cool with each other and hanging out rather than being diametrically opposed and hating each other.
-
I’m sorry, but a disgruntled baby Artemis laying on their back while Leto holds up a shiny Baby Apollo screaming about how great he is, is possibly the funniest thing Red has ever drawn.
-
I like how Artemis occasionally goes back into the city for divine Karaoke. Not a total loner, and us introverts do crave company from time to time.
-
Fun fact: A little boy once accidentally saw Artemis bathe and instead of punishing him she just turned him into a girl and had the kid join the hunt.
-
You can always count on Red to tell a good story like she's a demigod of the Muses
-
Artemis: I turned a guy into a deer just because he looked at me bathing. Apollo: Please, every person I’ve had eyes for inevitability jumps off a cliff. Leto: Kids! You’re both just awful.
-
fun fact about the island of Delos: it's actually the body of the goddess Asteria, goddess of fallen stars, which is such a pretty title, and Leto's sister. She turned herself into an island after a disgusting situation where Zeus tried to force himself on her, and she either knew she couldn't flee him, or dove into the sea to get away from him only to run into Poseidon, who was the same piece of shit his brother was
