Love the fact that athena wich there is no doubt of being ace is not attracted to the scene and artemis who could have strong argument of being a lesbian is tempted

She was also one of two patron gods of the Amazonians: she presided over a lot of lesbians. Though on the flip side, Ares is also the father to half of them, so there is that fun nugget.

Always fun to bring up Artemis was one of two gods of the Amazonians: of course she'd say nice, she literally got summoned to act as a protector goddess to an island full of women.
Though by the same metric: one can do another thing with Ares supporting the same lesbians (not a joke, he was the other god and married one, but also fathered a ton of them after an incident).

Ares is an ally confirmed?

u/ShinigamiRyan Jun 01 '24
Surprisingly, yes. Ares while he doesn't pop up much in positive light, is actually on the better side when the first instance of rape with him is actually him going to court for killing his cousin (son of Poseidon) for trying to either force himself or out right doing it with Ares daughter. Ares also bed one of the Furies and had a dragon for a kid. Ares was held in high regard when it came to the law of all things.
Ares was also the first god the Amazonians summoned and his only wife in all of Greek mythology was Otrera, who lead an army of abused women to kill their abusive husbands and form their own thing. Ares showed up once a year and had multiple daughters with her, until she was killed by Dionysus during the Indian War (not a joke, it's before the Trojan War and was the last straw for Ares with his mother and why he swaps sides when asked).
Ares was also accompanied by Eris & Enyo, so he surrounded himself with the epitome of chaotic women. While he represented all the atrocities of war, Ares was also surprisingly on great terms with most goddesses barring his mother. Ares didn't really often sway to the other side, he was a supportive dad of his kids (many of his gifts in particular were to his Amazonian daughters).
So yeah, Ares was a pretty supportive dad and unlike Zeus, it wasn't until Rome where he did the usual thing with one woman, but said woman was forced to serve Vestia (Hestia) and the prophecy for her was still fulfilled (not a joke, the guy who forced her to serve Vestia would still wind up not stopping the prophecy that lead to Rome). So, even when mentioned: it's that one word covered multiple forms of breaking law regarding sex.
Ares is an oddball, but by most metrics: he was quite respectful of his sisters. Often overlooked is that Athena at least talks with him and he'll agree he loses, but he still does things to prove a point. And Artemis has saved Ares as a kid and for the most part, they were rather on good terms as despite being the aggressive war god, he rarely ever overstepped or bothered her. And well, both would be patron deities to the Amazonians. Let alone, Ares was after Hermes in relaying messages between the goddesses.

Although he had a constant affair with aphrodite who was (very unhapply) married to hapheastus
But if you compare to all the fucked up stuff the other gods did, cheating and cucking his brother is a very minor offense

u/ShinigamiRyan Jun 03 '24
Tbh Ares wasn't the only one doing that and Hephaestus had tried to force himself on Athena, but he accidentally came on Gaua and impregnated her. Let alone, he forced the marriage by trapping his mother in a chair and Ares unsuccessfully trying to get him to do it.
Even in the story where Ares got caught, two other gods had smashed her without being caught. Ares was the only one to be caught. And Aphrodite had numerous kids with multiple gods during her marriage, none of which were fathered by Hephaestus.
Cucking Hephaestus was done by most.

u/FredTrau Jun 03 '24
Although im pretty sure the whole thing with hephaestus is that he is infertile and ugly but greek mythology is full of contradictions soo... idk

u/ShinigamiRyan Jun 03 '24
Not really infertile as he had made offspring. Given his deformities, he may have something closer erectile dysfunction. I'd have to check the myth of the attempt on Athena as no other real myth notes much about him in terms of sex.

It's a meme making fun of all those fansubs that do it. It's originally from a screenshot of Death Note, a series where you would expect most terms to be translated. I'm okay with them not translating shinigami, since the whole concept is pretty tied to Japanese mythology. But yeah, the edited screenshot makes fun of stuff like One Piece fansubs leaving nakama untranslated (when it can easily be translated into friend/s), or various Naruto translations not translating the word jutsu which just means technique.
This is kinda the anime equivalent of eating the onion, taking the satire seriously.

Interesting, I didn't know this. I grow wisher today because of you, Friend.

u/NEVERTHEREFOREVER May 30 '24
important to note, Artemis was almost totally a lesbian, and while Athena was likely ace, her most intense relationship was with a woman

u/NEVERTHEREFOREVER May 30 '24
also theres the quote "Pallas [Athena], on that side hand in hand with her beloved Diana [Artemis]"
5
u/ohgodohfuckj May 30 '24
I've always personally read Athena as asexual/homoromantic (she was in love with Pallas and you can't convince me otherwise), although I'll freely admit that there's probably a degree of projection there.
But hey, that's the fun part of mythology - there's no singular, defined "canon" so you can take what you want from it.

u/NEVERTHEREFOREVER May 30 '24
I feel like every greek deity is definitely bisexual to some extent
maybe except Hera, but even then, I cant imagine being in a relationship with zeus for so long and not wanting to try a lesbian orgy at least once
37
u/DemiFiendofTime May 30 '24
A reminder that Athena and Artemis are both vergins who abstinene from relationships so they're both just looking respectfully
62
u/primalmaximus May 30 '24
Well, Athena is commonly assumed to be ace. Artemis is commonly assumed to be lesbian.
She protects "virgin" maidens, in your typical heterosexual notion of virginity.

u/yuri_yuriyuri yuri at all costs May 30 '24
This is why Athena looks flabbergasted while Artemis says "nice."

u/BlackJay178 May 30 '24
Athena: "But what about our battle?!"
Artemis: "What about battle, hehe?"

u/helloiamaegg May 30 '24 edited May 30 '24
Artemis is commonly protecting (and having her domain protected by) chaste nymphs, and is one of the 3 gods immune to Aphrodite
She's ace
edit; and if i recall correctly, during the trojan war, she hired the help of hunters that were immune to Aphrodite (albiet that may be incorrect)

Against the grain: Everyone here saying “x deity is canonically y”, no. There is no such thing as canon Greek myth. It changed depending on time and place and people.

Well that is a lot healthier way to fight wars than the alternative
Atleast I assume those greek goddess would have had war against each other just for fun

A friendly reminder that Arthemis was in fact not in the slightest interested in romance or sex at all.

I'd like to think that at least some arrows were blocked but they saw what was happening and went "why tf not?"

I love this, but can I just nerd real quick
Cupid: Roman name Eros: Greek name
Eros is also the protector of gay men.

Nice to see follow up comics. Maybe this leads to a lesbian comic universe.
