That’s a good point. One of the things people struggle with I think is understanding the full scope of what was considered Greek and over what period of time. That and the competing representations of figures and the timeline of events means it really is like taking in a series of vignettes, each with its own take.

Stephen Fry did an excellent job making an updated and streamlined version of the mythology, effectively choosing from the myths what to accept as cannon in his retelling. If you haven’t read his books I would recommend them as being a wonderful story. He also narrated them himself on audible, which were also excellent.

Right. It just seems worth pointing out specifically rather than just using the term ace like the thread OP, because lumping those together doesn’t seem fair to ace folks. And at least for people like me who have read a lot of the Greek mythology, her aromantic nature is at least, if not more prominent in her personality than her chaste nature.

Yes, but what about love? As in, the emotion? Because Artemis is supposed to be unaffected by love, hence one of the three the goddess of love, Aphrodite, had no power over. But being ace doesn’t preclude someone from being in love.

Maybe it’s splitting hairs, but I recall the “chaste goddess of the hunt” and one of the three goddesses whom Aphrodite had no power. Additionally, goddess of healing, midwifery, and children. So I don’t know if the contemporary understanding of Ace matches that or not, as she is unaffected by love or lust.

Right, and it can be fun to do in a social setting, hence pubs. Also, there is a huge world of mixed drinks, ranging from “I can’t tell this is alcohol” to “that is a unique flavor otherwise unobtainable.” Ginger beer and vodka, Fanta and Sazerac rye, appletinis, rum and coke, Rusty nails, margaritas, etc. A person might not choose to drink for one reason or another but there are a million ways to make it taste good to you.

I want a full circle of horse torso’s like some sort of old testament angel.

Shouldn’t it be pictures of a warehouse first, and then on the full moon it turns into a house making it a werehouse? A werewolf turns into a wolf on the full moon, so the “were” prefix should proceed what it turns into. Unless this is supposed to be a were-warehouse.
