Artemis, if you don't know
Artemis, if you don't know anything about her, then know this: There is no Lara Croft without Artemis. There is no Princess Mononoke without Artemis. There is no Wonder Woman without the Greek Goddess of the hunt and the moon, because Artemis was simply that influential. She was the original female boss, and every aspect of this goddess is mind-blowingly fascinating... and shocking. I mean... you saw the thumbnail, and... I wasn't exaggerating: Artemis really did get her hands dirty, but all of that came with the territory: As the goddess of the hunt, the moon, of women, children, animals and the forest — Artemis had a lot of responsibilities, and as you might have already learnt throughout my videos: Every god that is in charge of something good, is also in charge whenever the opposite happens: If you rule over health, you also rule over disease — that's why people pray to you, for the bad not to happen. This is true for Artemis and women, Artemis and animals, and... also for Artemis and children. And that's where parts of her story take a bit of a turn into the dark and unexpected, but... you'll see all that now, in today's episode:

Notes:
So I already touched on one thing above: I am aware that Artemis (or any of the Greek gods for that matter) does not make it a habit to go out of her way and be evil. I am aware that these dark stories serves as tales to remind us to pray to the gods, but still... they are stories depicting the gods doing horrendous thing and I'm looking at all of this from a storyteller's point of view. With that in mind, do also remember that mythology is a very tough puzzle to piece together, because all of these stories are thousands of years old. With Greek Mythology, we are lucky because the Athenians prided themselves on documenting everything, but because of their thirst for knowledge and education, they also produced many great storytellers, and with a lot of storytelling comes a lot of embellishing and regional differences, so, over time, we ended up with a lot of variety and room for interpretation. For the sake of this video — and all my videos — I try to streamline all of these tales and versions as much as possible and leave out some details that might make the videos less fun.
So... is this accurate and well researched? Absolutely. Is this the only interpretation or way of telling you about the Artemis? No, this is my way to tell the story.
Get All My Artwork & Support The Channel:
I get a lot of questions about my artwork and where it’s from or rather who draws it. Well the answer is that I create it — I don’t draw it. I use AI to create the artwork, using specific prompts, specific style influences from 18th and 19th century artists, and I spend about 6 hours per video just on the artwork. Each video has roughly double the artwork of what you actually see in the video, so a lot of it is unused. The good news here though is that you can get all that artwork on my Patreon — the artwork I do use, and the artwork I don’t use. Plus, by subscribing to my Patreon you are making a major contribution to Briefed and helping me to keep this channel going, because this is my full time job and the survival of the channel and quality of the videos greatly depends on said support. In return for supporting, you get more than the artwork though — you also get exclusive videos and producer credit, as well as access to a producer group that gets to vote on thumbnails, gets behind the scenes etc.
If you choose to become a Patron — thank you. I do not take it for granted.

Sources:
A lot of people ask me about my sources, and… to be honest, they are a mixed bag. One major source is my lifelong interest in storytelling and mythology. Another is the beautiful endless library that is the internet, and, third, I read the occasional book from time to time, which I’m happy to recommend to you, but also… I’m planning to write my own book on mythology, so, in due time it will be…:
Source? Me. Yay.
