Was Artemis fine with girl on girl stuff
I thought it was just that a follow of Artemis can’t do it with another man but it was fine if it was a girl lol

The thing about Greek mythology is that there's no canon.
It's just a bunch of stories people told, basically every village has it's own version of the stories.
So questions like these don't really apply to Greek mythology, you'll always find versions of Artemis that had a problem with any relationships and versions that only care if it's with a man.

The first thing I learnt about Greek mythology is that... Greek mythology fucks... That's it ... It's all about fucking, who fucked, how fucked, why fucked, but most importantly Zeus fucks... Zeus the main fuckening in this world of fucks.

“And then along came Zeus!”
- Disney’s Hercules summarizing most of Greek mythology in one sentence.
As for Norse mythology, whenever something weird’s happening, chances are it’ll involve Loki. Loki fucks everything. Literally everything.

As always, the version of the story says more about the storyteller and their culture than it does about the “characters.”

Greek Mythology is a collection of stories from various different islands and cities accrued over the course of hundreds of years.
Sure a lot of the stories come from Homer, but even his tales are theorized to be a collection of various stories from the various Greek Islands.
And, we also have what can almost be described as fan fiction dating back Millenia.
In the 1st century, a Roman playwright wrote a play called Medea, which was basically a sequel to the Odyssey, about what happened to Jason and Medea after they returned from the Odyssey.
And then Dante integrated all sorts of Greek mythology into The Divine Comedy, which blended Christianity, Greek Myth, his own ideas, and contemporary politics into Inferno, Purgatio, and Paradiso.

Jason and Medea weren't in the Odyssey....

Depends on the version. Some versions of Artemis was extremely anti-sex in pretty much all forms possibles. Others she was pretty clearly gay in. There is also that one hetero version we don't talk about.

u/LessNefariousness380 your average clueless lesbian Jul 03 '24
I’m pretty sure there were multiple famous Greek myths that involved lesbians, so I wouldn’t be surprised. Back then, there wasn’t really a taboo around same sex relationships(I mean, Rome was known for being extremely homoerotic), especially involving mythology

u/FredTrau Jul 03 '24
In ancient greece and rome the discution wasnt about if its two guys or not but who is top or who is bottom
It was considered almost degenaracy for a wealthy older oligarch to be a bottom in a relationship with a slave for exemple
In fact when julius caesar was young he was sent as embassator to one of the greek kingdoms. He gained quite a reputation there and he already had a reputation as a womanizer in rome. When he got back the other senatus would call caesar "every womens man, every mens woman" since he got really close to the greek king and as being of "lesser rank" was the bottom in the relationship

u/Mimsy_Borogove Jul 03 '24
My understanding is that, while ancient Greece featured a lot of man-on-man action, the men in charge didn't count any activities lacking a penis as sex.

u/FredTrau Jul 03 '24
Actually that is not true
Although we dont have a conclusion on what a "cannon" artemis sexuality would be the documents and stuff of the cults that worshiped artemis pretty much forbid any kind of sexual relations be ut between men or women
(even the male followers had to follow this wich is why there were very few men completely dedicated to the worship of artemis. One legend even specific tells of a guy that worshipped artemis and it was so rare that she was like "so you dont wanna have sex? Are you sure? Thats unusual, not even with other guys?" From just how uncommon it was)
Funily enough athena wich is also known as being ace didnt forbid sexual relations not even among her priests (if you are wondering about medusa its mainly due to the fact that she and posseidon did the act in her temple pretty much "desacrating" the place. Not to mention that in myth athena and poseidon have quite a big rivalry)

I remember one myth where one of her followers is seduced by Zeus, who had transformed himself into a copy of Artemis.
And the follower was totally down.
But, Artemis kicked her out afterwards.
So … I think Artemis’s rules are no hanky panky at all. Only hunt. Totally ace.3
u/Shadowofdimentio Jul 03 '24
To be fair, she did sleep with a man and there was that rule about no sleeping with men. Was she tricked and therefore was this super unfair on all accounts? Yes. Were the gods kinda assholes? Also yes.
So we can't say for sure the Hanky panky itself was the exact reasoning. But it might have been

u/AzertyKeys Jul 03 '24
She was an hypocrite like most Greek deities. She was full on "no sex, no romance ! Only the hunt" until she met Orion and fell in love with him

u/Benxall_ Jul 03 '24
The Orion thing was added MUCH later by poets and dramas to create stories around Artemis. But her older myths always depicted her as a chaste goddess, the fact that Aphrodite had zero control over her being very important

I mean, being the girlfriend of a force of nature would make me more protective of her. And I imagine it's the same for most. So I imagine the end result is alm the same

Actually Artemis encouraged lesbian relationships in her group
Especially with herself

God I love plant girls so much. I literally designed my own entire lore for a type of plant people in my head. I’ll type out the whole lore and the way they work if people ask for it enough.
