The Mythology Guy
...
Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the patron and protector of young girls, and was believed to bring disease upon women and relieve them of it. Artemis was worshipped as one of the primary goddesses of childbirth and midwifery along with Eileithyia. Much like Athena and Hestia, Artemis preferred to remain a maiden and is sworn never to marry.
Artemis was one of the most widely venerated of the Ancient Greek deities, and her temple at Ephesus was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Artemis' symbols included a bow and arrow, a quiver and hunting knives and the deer and the cypress were sacred to her. Diana, her Roman equivalent, was especially worshipped on the Aventine Hill in Rome, near Lake Nemi in the Alban Hills, and in Campania.
*Update* ☀️ APOLLO is now available too: czcams.com/video/eNw7CUcdBXs/video.html ☀️
Thanks for your attention. Carry on! 👋
Every time "weird" or "eccentric" is mentioned in this video, it shows a small blonde girl dancing in front of a red sun. I just want everyone reading this to know that girls name is Aurora, and she is an incredibly gifted vocalist and composer. Please go check out her music.
(See 3:50)
Thanks for the Aurora shout out. Glad someone caught that :-) I too am an admirer of her gorgeous music.
Your work is amazing! Would love a video on Hecate in her own right. Some of the male gods, Zeus, Apollo and Dionysus would be cool too :)
Hey! Thanks a lot 😊 I also feel like there’s a whole lot more to say about Hecate and I’m going for a male god as my next video in the Greek Mythology Playlist. Dionysus sounds like a lot of fun.
Thanks for your comment!
Hi again Andrew. You might have already seen it, but here‘s APOLLO just in case you haven’t: czcams.com/video/eNw7CUcdBXs/video.html
DIONYSUS coming soon (editing it now)… 🍇
artemis is badass.. she is my fave goddess next to Athena 😃 thanks for making this video.. i am excited to see more videos about her (or Athena).. I cant wait to see the story of the hunter who watches her bathe.. anyway.. keep up the good work!!!
Thanks very much for your comment! So glad you enjoyed the video. I am looking forward to making more videos about Artemis and sharing them with you.
@@TinyEpics i am looking forward to it.. thank you
Would love a video on Hestia! 🌟🌟🌟
She just happens to be up next on my list for which goddess to feature. Thanks for your suggestion.
MNEMOSYNE. The Goddess of Memory. That will be a tricky project.
Great video yet again! I like how you’ve shown different interpretations of Artemis and mixed in the clips from Princess Mononoke to show the wild side of her character. Very cool.
That means a lot to me! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and happy to hear that you like the mix of ancient art references with modern film clips 😊
Beautifully done! Bravo :)
Thank you so very much! So glad you enjoyed it 🥰
She is absolutely one of my favorite godesses!!! Thank you!! 👻
A really good introduction to Artemis! Thanks for your meticulous work. I want to see Dionysus next. Anyone else??
Thank you so much! Yes, I actually had a few requests for Dionysus already so he is moving up to the top of my list for which video to make next ⬆️
I have noted your request!
You showed Tilda Swinton in one of my all-time favourite movies--Orlando!! Thanks!
In ancient Greek art Hecket is shown in the same short dress and hairstyle as Artemis, excepting that she carries two torches. I'm a little surprised there was no mention of Actaeon. In the Vatican an ancient fresco shows A group of children worshipping Diana, and a group of little girl miniature statues were found in Brauron, at the shrine of Artemis..
I love your videos! Informative and with the right amount of jokes to keep us engaged. Also, the video presentation is beautiful and relevant to what you're saying making it easier to understand. I hope more people will discover you and your gem of a channel 🤗💖
And I love this comment! Your words are so warm and encouraging and I thank you for taking the time to watch the videos. I’m excited to show you my Apollo video with you later today (if all goes according to plan).
@@TinyEpics its my pleasure! And im excited for your Apollo too! I watched the preview just a while ago :3
Well, as I’m a JS Bach devotee for over 35 years (classical musician here, keyboard and voice) I already knew I was going to love this when I heard the Brandenburg Concerto playing - I discovered these when I was 12 years old. This was a beautiful choice of music and then you followed it up with Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, first movement. I’m sure Artemis would have approved. Such purity of music she would be entranced. Then you had footage of the film "Orlando" with the incomparable Tilda Swinton. I am crazy about the book and the film. Your sense of taste is first class. The video was beautifully crafted and I loved the narration.
I love this message so much! So happy you found the channel.
Orlando is one of those rarities in life, isn’t it? A fabulous book that was honored by a fabulous film.
Wow! These videos are really awesome... ❤️ Love the narration!
That means so much to me! I am very happy you found the channel and that you’re enjoying yourself here.
@@TinyEpics I really am enjoying thanks 👍😊 each video leaves me wanting more and more! 😂
Thanks for info, presented very nicely.
Missed the Orion part. I am researching for my feminine archetype: Huntress.
Great video!
It makes me happy to know that there's a man out there trying to show the whole world what women were what women still can be
I absolutely LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! 😍❤♥💕💖💗😍
Thank you so much! That makes me happy 😊 😊 😊
You should do a video on the Amazons.
Great job. Very interesting and informative
Thank you for your kind comment! I am glad you enjoyed the video.
🎉 Exciting news! I just wanted to let you know that the *Tiny Epics History* website just launched today:
www.tinyepicshistory.com
You can explore the Greek gods in more detail and learn more about me and the channel.
That's a great video and the information included are special, take it from a Greek! Artemis really is my favourite Goddess, too. By far the most complicated and deep one.
That’s so wonderful to read! Thank you very much for your kind words. She’s absolutely fascinating and, I agree, incredibly interesting and complex.
This is awesome thank you
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and for the nice comment, too.
I can't wait for you to do a video on Persephone !
Ohhhh I am excited to make a video about her as well. I’ll discuss her in an upcoming video about Hades and of course Demeter, too, and I imagine she’ll get her very own video at some point.
Love!
LOVE ITTTT!!! please never stop.. I want to learn more from you.
and if you see this comment, please recommend some Greek mythology books for me to read.
Thanks so much for your wonderful and encouraging comment! Well I absolutely loved Madeline Miller’s recent novels: “The Song of Achilles” and her newer one called “Circe”.
“The House of Names” by Colm Tóibín is also incredibly moving.
I recently read the new translation of “The Odyssey” by Emily Wilson and fell in love with that ancient story all over again.
So those would be the ones that come to mind. Anne Carson has also done a marvelous translation of “Oresteia”.
Let me know if you need more suggestions!
I just found you. Love your videos.
I’m so happy you did! A warm welcome to you. Thanks so much for the wonderful comment.
My patron Goddess
HAIL Artemis the moon goddess
I 💕 your content
Thanks so much! 😊 😊
I'm already subscribed. How do I vote?
I add the polls to the Community tab and they should then show up on your CZcams feed. Do you have all notifications turned on? I think it has something to do with the bell 🔔 icon.
That way when I post a new poll you will be notified 😊
@@TinyEpics Thanks! According to CZcams the Community tab is only available on desktop or smartphone for now. I'm using a tablet , but I'm sure to vote when I switch later on.
Ah, good to know! I’ll have a new poll coming out soon about which god to feature next.
Thank you. 1ness
She is smiling at me, and when I look up and see eight days until the new moon, so 22 until the first rutting moon. If you can’t figure that out, learn about it! We have been hunter gatherers for hundreds of thousands of years. Since the Proto Indo Europeans were in Mesopotamia, and well before. Seline was one of our 30 moon’s day goddesses, thanks for Hecate+Artemis. Siri brings up Artemisia, so learn Medical Botany also.
Please kindly tell of the herbs never to bring near the altar of Artemis or other moon goddesses or in general what plants she forbids
Oh this is a great question for a practicing pagan. I can look into it for you. I would say that your intention matters most.
@@TinyEpics I look forward to your response
I love Artemis and Athena
Me too! Just in case you didn’t see it yet, I also made a video about Athena 🦉
czcams.com/video/92_AEqVlY5A/video.html
Just subscribed. Great content, but the pronunciation of Hecate was a bit jarring because I've always heard it pronounced like the classical Greeks; He-Ca-tay with the emphasis on the second syllable.
Thanks so much. The way I’ve pronounced it is the way my professor used to say it, and also how the wonderful reader in Edith Hamilton’s “Mythology” audiobook pronounces it.
I’m learning Greek at the moment and yes, you are correct, Εκάτη would have the emphasis on the 2nd syllable. But I found it jarring to try and pronounce it this way in the middle of an American English sentence. To each their own.
I can so identify with Artemis & Athena but Artemis is one of my favorite gods.
JUST ARTEMIS. F*** the other one.
💙
Fun fact… Artemis isn’t a goddess of chastity or virginity.
She did ask to remain a maiden, but there are no cults or rituals that worship her as a goddess of virginity.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
❤💘
Is she the same than Diana the Roman Goddess? The images look the same
Yes, the goddess Diana is the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Artemis.
❤️💚💜
I got confused... Is she Apollo's twin or not?
Yes, most definitely his twin.
Yes lol
Is she associated with any particular zodiac sign? Cancer, maybe. Because of the association to the moon?
One of these days I'm just going to find a silver Artemis coin on the ground that someone thought was a quarter. 😆
Why am I in this hell lol hahaha jk it's not bad but could be a better stance lol
That is not the Moon, but it is a type of solar eclipse. The Moon has never ever looked like that.
Are you referring to a specific image you saw in the video?
@@TinyEpics Yes, the image at the 6:42.
@@walt3223 Oh interesting, yeah I can see what you mean. Artemis’s waxing crescent moon was heavily stylzed by artists. Sometimes it even appears much more like little horns than a moon. Interesting feedback with the solar eclipse 🤔
You do not need to be apologetic neither embarrassed to freely mention Greek's mythology matters of insect, rape, etc. They were not afraid nor shame of human's feelings. They practically invented theater as thesis as catharsis and pathos.
I like roman Diana better. She wasn’t a huntress unlike Artemis. Her name’s more fashionable.
I am going to upset the female readers, but please do not shoot the messenger. In many cultures, it is/was believed that women do not have souls. The ancient Greeks believed that when a man penetrated a woman, he fills her with his essence. Keeping this in mind, the Greek concept of virginity has more to do with freedom and independence than purity. Three and a half of the Olympians were virgin goddesses, Artemis, Athena, and Hestia. The half was Hera who annually bathed in a magic pool that restored her virginity -- her independent spirit.
dorky
Ahhh thanks! 🤓
All this mythology is not greak or roman is older, is tracian, originated in the Carpathians area!!! Study it more profound! Artemis is Bendis, the goddess of nature and fertility, etc!
No argument here that Hellenic mythology had earlier origins. Even within Greece, on the island of Crete, some of these myths can be traced back to the Minoans as far back as 1600 BC (and even earlier).
But that doesn't mean there isn't "Greek Mythology". They were inspired by the past but clearly made the religion their own.
Do a video on Jesus Christ the lamb of the only true living God. This video insults Artemis since virginity does mean no sex. It I'm sure insults her to doubt her chastity
As long as you’re watching the content I’m happy. All the best to you.
All these depictions of her naked is disrespectful and wishful thinking. See Actaeon.
Thanks for your comment!
Part of what I do in my channel is show artistic references of the gods and goddesses over the centuries.
I’m not here to judge those images as respectful or disrespectful. Perhaps certain images might even spark a thoughtful conversation on sexism, the male gaze, and how depictions shift over time.
As you have pointed out, her nudity is crucial to a rather important myth which I will cover in my next video about Artemis.
Seriously? 😂
