Artemis, the aro/ace arrow ace
[ID: Art of Artemis, drawing a bow back to fire, done in aro/ace colors. Her skin is purple with freckles that mimic the purple starry sky in the background. Her hair is dark, half up half down with flowing waves. Her dress is green with a fold over V neck and darker green sash. The moon is large and full behind her, and her arrow glows brilliant white with a purple aura. /end ID]
my piece for @aspecjournal! artemis is powerful and will protect you!!
Artemis; the Greek goddess of hunting, wild nature, and chastity.
Artemis (/ˈɑːrtɪmɪs/), goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, the moon, and chastity.
artemis /ˈɑːrtɪmɪs/ goddess of the hunt, wild animals, and wilderness. “kissed by the wild and loved by lightning.”
hey this is a really random question but ive associated for a long time asexuality with a bow and arrow and at this point i dont really remember why anymore, i was wondering if you might know a reason for it if it rings a bell for something?
Arrows are an obvious aro connection.
Artemis is an aro ace icon so pew pew 🏹

“You have yielded Poseidon the victory entire. He can brag, where nothing has happened. Fool, then why do you wear that bow, which is wind and nothing. Let me not hear you in the halls of my father boasting ever again, as you did before among the immortals, that you could match your strength in combat against Poseidon.” (Artemis, ‘The Iliad’)

if you’re wondering who is who, the names are in the captions!^^
Reblogging this with the names!~
(left to right) Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus, Hermes, Athena, Dionysus
moon girlfriends: Artemis, Siproites, Selene
sun boyfriends: Helios, Icarus, Apollo
Persephone and Hades
quick reminders about Greek mythology:
- Persephone is black/has dark skin
- Haphaestus is disabled and has some mental illness(es)
- Gaia is black/has dark skin
- Hades is disabled
- Zeus is a rapist [ on multiple occasions ]
- Eros is pansexual
- Athena is most likely asexual
- Dionysus is bisexual
- all of the nymphs are nonbinary
- Persephone is the goddess of spring growth
- Thanatos is the god of death, not Hades
A few more:
- Artemis is most likely asexual and aromantic (some interpretations lend themselves to demisexual)
- Poseidon is also a serial rapist
- In fact, the only one of the Big Three who isn’t is Hades
- Hades is not a terrible person (certainly not when compared to his family)
- Persephone is scarier/more widely feared than Hades ever was
- Apollo is not straight
- Zeus is not straight
- Heracles is not straight
- Eros has a twin brother named Anteros, and he is the god of requited love
- Since Persephone is woc it follows that at least one of her parents (Zeus and/or Demeter) is also poc
- Hera is not a “nagging wife” she is one of many of Zeus’ victims, and she takes her (justified) anger out on the wrong person
- Thanatos is the god of peaceful death
- Hestia exists. And is important.
