Artemis And Callisto For Sapphiczines' First Volume Celestial Beings.

Artemis and Callisto for Sapphiczines' first Volume “Celestial Beings”.

I have a love/hate relationship with Greek mythology. Back when I was a teenager, I used to be very fond of it, but re-reading the tales as an adult has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I suppose as a young teen a lot of things went over my head, but even back then, I've always felt that the tale of Callisto was one of the cruelest of the lot. I’ve always assumed Artemis and Callisto were lovers but that the Greek standards of the time, while being generally progressive compared to, say, the Middle Ages, did not quite allow for open love stories between women - hence the tragic end Callisto met. I like to think of a new version for this story, one where there is a 'happy-ever-after' for Callisto, whose only crime was to be in love with the independent and free-spirited Artemis.

If someone ever deserved her own happy ending, it was Callisto.
