This is just a slight addition to how Artemis was regarded in Spartan society. While you highlighted that she was regarded as Spartan goddess of warfare, she held equal importance as the goddess of childbirth. In Spartan society, a woman who died in childbirth (creating a new Spartan) was given the same honours and respect and funeral rites as a Spartan man who died in battle. I don't want to detract from your excellent summary here - I just thought it was an interesting point to make.
@@JonSolo please note that when dying in battle or childbirth you're given honours as a spartan because you died for the state. You lived and died for the state as a spartan.
"She's done more to be considered a villain than Hades has" That's actually an insanely low bar to clear. Hades never messed with people just for the hell of it, he was content to rule his domain.
Hades just minded the business that paid him. Even when Hades ever got mad it’s cause people messed with him first. He was even okay with his wife having an affair Adonis.
Well I mean I’m sure Persephone and Demeter feel differently but since Greece was serious rape culture and America is serious rape culture we can pretend that whole incident never happened right?
@@namedrop721 i believe that you read wrong translation as rpe was the same word as kidnaping and Hades kidnaped her with blessing of Zeus what makes it planed marriage
@@diooverheaven6561 And there is literally nothing in any myth to suggest Hades ever raped Persephone. They are always characterized as being equal rulers of the underworld and having one of the most functional relationships in the mythos.

There’s another version where Artemis and Orion were just friends, but Apollo thought they were dating. Still ends with Apollo tricking her into killing Orion.
I didn't even know there's a version where Artemis and Orion were engaged, I can't find it either. The version she liked him comes from a later source and is a remnent of pre-Olympian religion Artemis where she wasn't a virgin Goddess. There's the version Gaia kills Orion, version Artermis kills him for trying to rape Opis, and in other he tries to grabs Artemis' rope and she kills him. And of course, the version where Apollo tricks her into killing him, as you've mentioned.
The thing is, Artemis was never even romantically in love with Orion. It was just something later scholars added in order to probably make the myth more "tragic" in a sort of way
@@rohanrodrigues7115 we don't even know that for sure, indeed there are ways of taking it that after Orion died, she would book no other man and was only ever loyal to one.
@@ladyraven3418 yeah you have to be extremely careful with mythology from indigenous peoples since alot of it has been white washed and appropriated :/
The mythological Gods seem to just be stories about how much more awful it would be if humans with all our emotions, hormones, and questionable self control and morals would be if we had immortality or powers of any kind.
Oh yeah. I can admit if I had powers I'd definitely mess with people who piss me off if I could get away with it. In my brain they would deserve it but I'm sure someone would disagree
I love Artemis vengeance and all. She really just needed to tell everyone that she wasn't going to be a pushover and dialed it up to 12 and it was never dialed back down. Lol
Artemis is also the name of fire control system for Artemis missiles in Bettletech, and those things will hit you no matter how much cover you are hiding behind.
I like artemis because she's a archer and she is over hunting but she very much cares for the forest and animals and will punish those who kill for fun, which we need tbh
And punishes peeping toms. Yeah that was a little dramatic but men have to learn there lesson somehow. She was probably sick of men being creepy twords woman and the fact he decided to look at her he was punished for it
Quite honestly, Artemis was the first deity I worked with. She's taught me to be confident in myself and to not take anything less than what I'm worth. Does she scare me? Yes in a healthy, respectful way. But I'm still glad I get to work with her.
Pasani, Quite honestly, I don't recall working with you in any way shape or form... Misuse is never rewarded, your requests were self-serving. Don't try to align yourself with one who chooses who they wish to invite into their circle. And that's not just a warning from me but all you have been trying to summond. You don't have the authority to do so. Do not disrespect any of Us again; there will be consequences for your actions.
As a pagan and as someone who loved mythology even long before I came into it, I have to say Artemis is my ultimate fave. Morrigan is a close second, which you should do a video on her if you havent already.
It's honislstly hard to say who's my favorite because I've connected to different gods at different times in my life. Artemis was one of the first but Odin is who called me back to paganism. Thor is who I pray to most for strength to get through hard things. But I'm also really connected to Loki and hel.
She is was also the protector of young women, childbirth, nature and animals. She is often depicted as the one who carries the moon across the sky. To me she is the personification of single hood freedom. A nice patron for the asexuals of the world.
Her very title of being the goddess of moon and hunt was what first appealed to me, but her dopeness and flare to stay independent was quite awesome to me. She is a queen 👑
Artemis is such a cool aunt and sister, she looks after her brother's (Ares) daughters (Hyppolita & the Amazons) without any issue. Ares is such a cool brother that he doesnt mind that they (the Amazons) worship her as long as they keep being badass in battle. He even blessed their abilities. 🤴🏿🙏🏿👸🏿
Artemis is so fucking badass. Definitely my second favorite of the Greeks Goddess after Lady Athena.I recently been binge watching all of you videos, do fun and informative. I can't wait for the Norse God of Storms.
The one Artemis story I don't hear often is during the Iliad: Artemis had the goal to call Apollo a coward for standing down when approached by Poseidon. So Hera, wishing to teach her stepdaughter respect, decked her with her own bow and sent her crying to daddy.
I used to have a cat called Artemis... she was a ruthless! She attacked everyone without reason, lived at night and hunted birds and mice. She was definitely aptly named
Imagine if we got a whole animated series based off the origins of different mythologies. Never thought I would think this but Jon Solo makes mythology sound cool
Your interpretation of Artemis was so reminiscent of my mother...who is named after Diana. Both I believe are at least similar enough for comparison and I'd have to say my mother took her namesake to heart. XD
What’s really amazing about this series is that one can see the commonalities across cultures’ deities. For instance, in the Yoruba pantheon, there’s a deity named Ochosi; he basically represents the same concept as Artemis. Hunter, deer are sacred to him, synonymous with magic, killed his mother by acting too hastily, etc. These commonalities make me think of Joseph Campbell’s “Hero of a Thousand Faces” hypothesis - either something happened globally and we interpreted the phenomenon based on our culture/location or we’re all the same so we create the same stories. Thanks for the series m8!
I think she knew exactly what she was doing in a profound intuitive wise distribution of karmic pay. Most would never comprehend as it's her deeply insightful ability to know past present and future. Steering the course for human race with her mighty power. Love your video subject! Soo cool. Thanks! Greatly appreciated.
In response to the wrap up, you did exceptionally well at portraying my goddess. My only critique would be that you forgot to mention her role in the myth of Atalanta. Thank you for covering my goddess so respectfully.
Your channel recently showed up on my RUclips as a recommendation. I must say I find your episodes regarding Greeks gods and goddesses very insightful. I currently got approved to have a book I have written to be published in the UK. It's not typical facts instead it's a fantasy novel but I base the origins heavily on Greek mythology. Although my first book is already in publishing I'm pleased to note that alot of my pervious content stems very closely to origins you have explained already so thank the heavens for that... Just wanted to say I'm finding your videos very insightful and I'm finding ways to incorporate these mythological facts into my next two installments of my trilogy so thank you. I will be following you from this day forward
I freaking love Artemis! She’s one of the most hard working goddesses on Olympus and the most badass! And not even a few days old she already knew how and what she wanted. Even when she punished some one it wasn’t petty, she had a valid reason for it
@@Ryodraco Acteon got what he deserved considering in another story when he saw Artemis and her hunters naked he proclaimed his love to her and decided “OK I must have her” as if she was some sort of prize to be won. And everyone in ancient Greece knew about her rule so he kinda got what he asked for
In spite of her short fuse, Artemis is actually my favorite goddess in the Greek lore. I always thought she was pretty cool, and I just love the image of her using the crescent moon as a bow in The Pastoral Symphony in Fantasia.
It's weird that the story of Callisto, reminds me of the beginning of Medusa's story. It seems more like her keeping the secret rather then explaining from the beginning is what led to that punishment. I still hold strong that she's one of the least savage of the pantheon as she has only punished the insolent. No tricks, just righting the wrongs of hubris.
Artemis has always been one of my favorite gods she was strong, powerful, skilled, independent didn't take shit from anyone & Gunther is cute by the way Jon.
I loved this video I think this is one of my favourites so far. I’m SO excited for Apollo but I hope that once we get to apollo that means he’ll do a series on The Muses because I need that in my life
I'm personally a fan of the Myth involving Artemis and the transformation of two lovers into the Greek equivalent of vampires. Can't remember the name of the story though...
YES! One of my favorite goddesses! I see her as a pretty balanced goddess-nurturing, free, strong, unapologetically wild and yet she has to be ruthless. Just a little extra detail, in one version of the Iphigenia sacrifice myth, Artemis demanded the princess be sacrificed after Agamemnon killed a hare (that happened to be pregnant), which is also a sacred animal to Artemis and he boasted out loud that Artemis couldn't have done better.
Thank You so much for this episode Jon! Artemis is my favorite goddess in Greek Mythology. Oke she is cruel but I think that most of her punishments are well deserved( not the one of Callisto) . I hope you also will cover The Messed Up Origins of Apollo her twin brother soon. Even I know al lot( really a lot) of those story's about the Greek Mythology( Because it's my favorite kind of Mythology) I enjoy watching you video's about it( yes the other one's to;)) May I Make one little request? I really would like to see a episode of Scylla en Charybdis. But anyways I love your shows an again thank you so much for this one!
Artemis has the disposition you would expect of a woman with an immortal's worth of experiences being harassed by guys there is no way she would ever even want to talk to.
@@abney_66 That's literally every greek god expect Hades tho. Hera killed women that were raped by Zeus and often their kids as well, Zeus chained a guy to a rock for eternity to have his liver devoured every day because he stole fire, etc. The greek gods are no joke.
Something interesting you could had added is before the battle of marathon the Greeks already having Athena favor but being outnumbered by several thousand chose to make a promise to Atermis they would sacrifice one goat for every Persian slayed. After the battle they killed so many, they chose to do 2 annually for a few decades.
This is so good Jon Solo im really loving all the detail and hard work you put into creating your videos. Your made me feel safe happy and sense of knowing and place. Cheers and thankyou so much my friend:) your fan Dan :)
Depending on the version, she also kills Ariadne, the half sister to the Minotaur. Apparently it was because she fell for Theseus, who (again depending on the version) was betrothed to Dionysus, the god requested Artemis to kill her.
First: I admire his bravery for saying all that on a a goddess who favors girls over men and usually turn them into jackalopes Second: I still like her the best because I've read way too much Percy Jackson and him saying how awful the gods are
I read Percy Jackson,honesty I like when I was young but now I don't(well,I still like Clarisse La Rue,Reyna,Sadie Kane and her brother,Zia Rashid,Nico and maybe Frank but just they),Rick is a misogynist,he doesn't respect Pagan Religion,and he says in his books(that are designed to childrens) that a rapist is an excellent father figure and a kind man,but in the same time he says that Ares(who is one of the first Feminist Gods) that he is dump,he like to kill children that want to save Olympus,he is a weak fighter who lost a fight to a 12 years old,and that he is the misogynist and that basically he hate his daughters,in the Sea of Monsters Rick write that he threaten Clarisse,in the Stolen Chariot it's says that only his sons gets his motorcycle for a day and Clarisse is the first daughter in centuries,and in the Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods Rick change completely story of Harmonia,in real world she was given by force to her husband(who kill her brother)by Zeus and after she is transformed intro a snake by Hephaestus,in Rick's book after death of her brother and her wedding,Ares transformed her and her husband intro snakes,and all in Greek Gods(a story in which Percy is the narrator and the commentator) appears Alcippe(daughter of Ares)who is almost rape by a son of Poseidon,and still Ares is the bad guy that killed very painfully that son of the bitch- sorry son of Poseidon,and all that narrattor says is that he wanted to see Poseidon fight Ares because of that him kills his son,and that it is just the obviously things,but are many others things,like in the Lightning Thief when Medusa is accused for Poseidon that rape her,and many other things
@@souldemon5491 I think I said that on the previous comment,but I don't like Rick because he is a misogyn and what he do to Ares in his books is terrible,I don't like Poseidon because he is a rapist and a misogyn,but I like Clarisse,Sadie and her brother,Zia,Nico and Frank
I’m into Oya. She’s the Yoruba goddess of storms and rainbows. She was the wife of Shango and was his most chillaxed wife compared to Oshun and Oba who were always at each other’s throats. Oshun is cool too but I can take her in small doses.
I’ve loved Artemis since middle school and I still love her today. All the Greek gods/ goddess are cruel and unfair. So honestly at this point, hearing about how cutthroat and badass she was doesn’t make me love her any less 🥰

Artemis has always been one of my favorite gods she was strong, powerful, skilled, independent didn't take shit from anyone & Gunther is cute by the way Jon.
I’ve never heard of her but I’m glad I do now
I was waiting for this one. As soon a I got the notification I clicked on it
I loved this video I think this is one of my favourites so far. I’m SO excited for Apollo but I hope that once we get to apollo that means he’ll do a series on The Muses because I need that in my life
I'm personally a fan of the Myth involving Artemis and the transformation of two lovers into the Greek equivalent of vampires.
Can't remember the name of the story though...
Sherrilyn Kenyon wrote the book series
YES! One of my favorite goddesses! I see her as a pretty balanced goddess-nurturing, free, strong, unapologetically wild and yet she has to be ruthless. Just a little extra detail, in one version of the Iphigenia sacrifice myth, Artemis demanded the princess be sacrificed after Agamemnon killed a hare (that happened to be pregnant), which is also a sacred animal to Artemis and he boasted out loud that Artemis couldn't have done better.
This didn’t turn me off of my girl artemis at all. I already have a tattoo for Athena now I need one for Artemis.
After reading Lore Olympus it's nice to dive back into the original stories
"[Orion] came real close to stealing the the heart of Artemis"
You have invoked the wrath of Red.
Yesss. Ace Red wouldn’t be pleased.
Agreed
Y’all are speaking my language! 😄💜
Love your content, sense of humor, and delivery! Thanks for another great vid!
Thank You so much for this episode Jon! Artemis is my favorite goddess in Greek Mythology. Oke she is cruel but I think that most of her punishments are well deserved( not the one of Callisto) . I hope you also will cover The Messed Up Origins of Apollo her twin brother soon. Even I know al lot( really a lot) of those story's about the Greek Mythology( Because it's my favorite kind of Mythology) I enjoy watching you video's about it( yes the other one's to;)) May I Make one little request? I really would like to see a episode of Scylla en Charybdis. But anyways I love your shows an again thank you so much for this one!
What a wonderful suggestion. 🪨 🌊 🪨
You should do the goddess Hemera! She is really interesting and not many people know her.
There is a reason I named my daughter after this badass goddess 😎
I love OSP’s interpretation of Artemis!
you take the moon you take the sun take everything that seems like fun
Yay I been waiting for this episode!! You did a great job! Artemis is one of my favorite Greek goddesses! 💚🏹
Artemis has the disposition you would expect of a woman with an immortal's worth of experiences being harassed by guys there is no way she would ever even want to talk to.
Exactly what I was thinking! 👌
@@airshipswashbuckler6420 She is fictional who cares
@@tariqyousaf8635 Dang, you good?
Yeah but she went a little overboard with the punishments tho
@@abney_66 That's literally every greek god expect Hades tho. Hera killed women that were raped by Zeus and often their kids as well, Zeus chained a guy to a rock for eternity to have his liver devoured every day because he stole fire, etc. The greek gods are no joke.
Something interesting you could had added is before the battle of marathon the Greeks already having Athena favor but being outnumbered by several thousand chose to make a promise to Atermis they would sacrifice one goat for every Persian slayed. After the battle they killed so many, they chose to do 2 annually for a few decades.
This is so good Jon Solo im really loving all the detail and hard work you put into creating your videos. Your made me feel safe happy and sense of knowing and place. Cheers and thankyou so much my friend:) your fan Dan :)
Love the detailed captionssss
Can u do ones on slavic mythology? Or comparing greek mythology to slavic mythology
Depending on the version, she also kills Ariadne, the half sister to the Minotaur. Apparently it was because she fell for Theseus, who (again depending on the version) was betrothed to Dionysus, the god requested Artemis to kill her.
First: I admire his bravery for saying all that on a a goddess who favors girls over men and usually turn them into jackalopes
Second: I still like her the best because I've read way too much Percy Jackson and him saying how awful the gods are
Yes
I read Percy Jackson,honesty I like when I was young but now I don't(well,I still like Clarisse La Rue,Reyna,Sadie Kane and her brother,Zia Rashid,Nico and maybe Frank but just they),Rick is a misogynist,he doesn't respect Pagan Religion,and he says in his books(that are designed to childrens) that a rapist is an excellent father figure and a kind man,but in the same time he says that Ares(who is one of the first Feminist Gods) that he is dump,he like to kill children that want to save Olympus,he is a weak fighter who lost a fight to a 12 years old,and that he is the misogynist and that basically he hate his daughters,in the Sea of Monsters Rick write that he threaten Clarisse,in the Stolen Chariot it's says that only his sons gets his motorcycle for a day and Clarisse is the first daughter in centuries,and in the Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods Rick change completely story of Harmonia,in real world she was given by force to her husband(who kill her brother)by Zeus and after she is transformed intro a snake by Hephaestus,in Rick's book after death of her brother and her wedding,Ares transformed her and her husband intro snakes,and all in Greek Gods(a story in which Percy is the narrator and the commentator) appears Alcippe(daughter of Ares)who is almost rape by a son of Poseidon,and still Ares is the bad guy that killed very painfully that son of the bitch- sorry son of Poseidon,and all that narrattor says is that he wanted to see Poseidon fight Ares because of that him kills his son,and that it is just the obviously things,but are many others things,like in the Lightning Thief when Medusa is accused for Poseidon that rape her,and many other things
@@akffjn6880 wait why don't u like the ones u named
@@souldemon5491 I think I said that on the previous comment,but I don't like Rick because he is a misogyn and what he do to Ares in his books is terrible,I don't like Poseidon because he is a rapist and a misogyn,but I like Clarisse,Sadie and her brother,Zia,Nico and Frank
@@akffjn6880 ares actually isn't that bad
14:00 I can’t argue with that picture. It is amazing.
I wonder if he intends to make a series about the other constellations other than the twelve that inspired the names of the Zodiac Signs 🤔
That handy's comment hit me like a freight train. I almost caught whiplash on that double take Jack
Thank you John ❤️
That’s a great intro and a cool shirt. I’m hooked
I would love to see a video on Hekate
I’m using his pandora video for my easy it has helped so much I love the way he explains things
Artemis didn't get angry about the childbirth. She was pissed off at the fact Callisto lied to her.
Hey. I was curious about her. Thanks for the Greek Mythology lessons!😊
Not really relevant, but every time i use to take those quizzes online to see what Greek God/Goddess i was, i'd always get Artemis :]
Artemis is my favourite goddess, very happy you made this video 💜
I don't mind claiming her a my goddess, though, in real life, my Goddess is Mother Kali. I like the badass goddess trope, though, virgin or not.
I’m into Oya. She’s the Yoruba goddess of storms and rainbows. She was the wife of Shango and was his most chillaxed wife compared to Oshun and Oba who were always at each other’s throats. Oshun is cool too but I can take her in small doses.
I have a test over the Greek gods so this came out at the perfect time! Now all I need to do is re-watch the other videos!!
I’ve loved Artemis since middle school and I still love her today. All the Greek gods/ goddess are cruel and unfair. So honestly at this point, hearing about how cutthroat and badass she was doesn’t make me love her any less 🥰
