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.

[@Bottaramji1025]

(See 3:50)

[@TinyEpics]

Thanks for the Aurora shout out. Glad someone caught that :-) I too am an admirer of her gorgeous music.

[@ProCamera]

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.

[@TinyEpics]

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 😊

[@yaneerenomeron4166]

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!!!

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 :)

[@TinyEpics]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3_aaHaLmMl1jtU DIONYSUS coming soon (editing it now)… 🍇

[@deansky-lucas7880]

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.

[@TinyEpics]

I love this message so much! So happy you found the channel.

[@TinyEpics]

Orlando is one of those rarities in life, isn’t it? A fabulous book that was honored by a fabulous film.

[@TinyEpics]

🎉 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.

[@annamariaricci2146]

She is absolutely one of my favorite godesses!!! Thank you!! 👻

[@jsmcguireIII]

A version of Actaeon and the hounds is also found in Celtic mythology. In my opinion, the most famous depiction of Diana-Artemis is the Augustus Saint-Gaudens statue that was first placed atop Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1893. There is a nice half-scale Diana from the 1928 displayed in New York MET today.

[@TinyEpics]

@@jsmcguireIII Yes, this piece is also quite iconic, and feels firmly situated in late 19th century aesthetics. It’s a more delicate, ethereal version of the goddess, whereas the so-called ‘Diana of Versailles’ feels earthier, more rustic. This is, I suppose, how I typically think of her. Then there is the Artemis of Ephesus too, focusing on the fertility aspect of Artemis/Diana. I always find it fascinating how the gods are depicted quite differently over the span of time, and through the prism of shifting culture, beliefs, and taste. Thanks for your comment!

[@animeangelgirls]

Beautifully done! Bravo :)

A really good introduction to Artemis! Thanks for your meticulous work. I want to see Dionysus next. Anyone else??

You showed Tilda Swinton in one of my all-time favourite movies--Orlando!! Thanks!

[@lukegehring5305]

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..

[@StamfordBridge]

Fun stuff! I was hoping for a mention of her temple at Ephesus, but I assume you would’ve seen that as expanding the scope to human history, as opposed to strictly mythology.

[@TinyEpics]

@@StamfordBridge Yes, I even had a whole segment in about her temple at Ephesus at some point, then thought it could be better suited to a separate video focused on the archaeological aspect of Greek mythology. Thanks for your comment!

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!

Is she the same than Diana the Roman Goddess? The images look the same

[@TinyEpics]

Yes, the goddess Diana is the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Artemis.

[@witchhazel4135]

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.

[@TinyEpics]

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.

[@Benevolent_Fafnir]

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.

[@TedHouk]

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.

[@sharonefee1426]

I got confused... Is she Apollo's twin or not?

[@TinyEpics]

Yes, most definitely his twin.

[@daniellogan-scott5968]

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.

[@Nacidodelmar]

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.

[@chriszablocki2460]

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. 😆

That is not the Moon, but it is a type of solar eclipse. The Moon has never ever looked like that.

@@TinyEpics Yes, the image at the 6:42.

[@dianajulieta77]

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!

[@TinyEpics]

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).

[@TinyEpics]

But that doesn't mean there isn't "Greek Mythology". They were inspired by the past but clearly made the religion their own.

[@samanthaparker9273]

Yes lol

[@SeriDA77]

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

[@chelseashurmantine8153]

I kinda hates this video….. you didn’t put enough respect on Artemis and spent too long talking about Hecate? And you also said that people call her forth during “times of transition such as pregnancy and childbirth”. Bro those are life-threatening experiences , which is why they’re turning to a badass huntress and goddess of nature. They aren’t “transitions”.

[@TinyEpics]

@@chelseashurmantine8153 Well that’s the beauty of creation, isn’t it? I can make something I am passionate about in my freetime for fun, then share it for free with people who can choose to love it or hate it. Yours is certainly not one of the more thoughtful comments I have received, but thanks for taking the time to comment anyway. There are lots of videos about Artemis out there, so perhaps you will find a video or channel more suited to your personal preferences and one that aligns more with how you choose to interpret these mythological archetypes. Or here’s an even better idea: try putting something together yourself see where it takes you! Not sure what more to say except to suggest you go somewhere else and be happy. Be well.✌️👋

[@aaronsaunders6974]

I like roman Diana better. She wasn’t a huntress unlike Artemis. Her name’s more fashionable.

[@jacw.h.6246]

All these depictions of her naked is disrespectful and wishful thinking. See Actaeon.

[@TinyEpics]

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.
