Contrast with based Artemis:

I believe the classical concept of a virgin was just someone who hadn't had penetrative sex with a man. Artemis chilling with a bunch of lady "virgins"... But I don't know a lot about greek mythology, so I am just talking out of my ass.
There's the Greek island of Lesbos, with Lesbian builders, that had a bendable measuring device called a Lesbian Rule for construction. Make of that what you will.
Civilizations re-enacting the open marriage scene from Arrested Development, but with Lead :dead-dove-3:
Yeah idk, I wouldn't exactly stand behind my claims here lol, for one I am a dufus (or at least duf-inclined), for another I don't know nearly enough about the topic.
I just recently found out about the combo of "peerless tracker and slayer of beasts + celibate + protector of children" and was looking for an excuse to say "isn't that cool?!" somewhere haha
She is incredibly cool! A friend of mine told me about two myths about her, kind of similar, kind of not.
Both start like this: Artemis and her virgins are bathing in a lake in the forest. Guy is walking in the forest and comes upon them.
Now in the first one he realises there's a bunch of hot babes swimming naked, so he hides and peeps. Artemis busts him and turns him into a deer to be perpetually hunted.
In the second one the guys stumbles upon them by accident and immediately looks away, terribly sorry about the whole thing. He still saw Artemis naked and she's still a greek god so... She gives him an offer: He can be turned into a deer to be hunted forever OR she can trans him and turn him into one of her virgins. He picks the latter.
