Artemis Unveiled: Exploring the Wild Goddess of Ancient Greece 

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve just discovered your channel and will place my comment here, though it applies to ALL your uploads. Here in the UK we are compelled to pay the BBC £160 per household per year for the privilege of watching TV - even if you don’t watch their output (I never do, fewer and fewer people actually do). This content is EXACTLY what I expect the BBC to produce: thought-provoking, educational and entertaining. And I come to RU-vid to see it. I’m slowly working my way through all your other videos. As well as the knowledgable narrative across wide-ranging subjects, can I add your production values are top notch. I mean first-rate professional and far, far better than anything available on British mainstream media. Thanks a million.

These gents are erudite gems. Fantastic content.

What a wonderful conversation.

Artemis has been my favorite of the Greek pantheon since I was introduced to the mythology. I got to learn more about her studying classics in college, but she is certainly neglected. Wonderful conversation. I’m so glad you focused on her.

Professor Rangos has the great gift of rendering clear and simple very difficult issues. I appreciate.

Thank you Professor Rangos. This conversation helped me get a deeper understanding of the idea of the Greek mythology. Artemis has a temple in Jerash Jordan too. You should come visit sometime.

I loved everybit of that discussion, beauty and meaning has to come back into the mind of our people. What about a discussion about her brother Apollo? Thank you !

As a pagan and occultist, it is refreshing to a voice who does not dismiss the gods or mystical experiences but rather elevates them. Your work here and in other videos is deserves far more popularity. If there is ever an opportunity to a have similar interview about Hekate I and many others would be highly appreciative of it.

Myths help hide a wonderful truth,I feel that they existed somewhere in history,that’s why we find inspiration in their stories.

Love the in-depth videos you provide. They always go so much deeper than the average Greek god/goddess video out there.

I really enjoyed this. I believe we can still have the old Gods even in this new age of Technology. Perhaps they will have to change to fit with the times, but their essence will still be the same. In this age of pollution and climate change Artemis has never been more important!!!

Wonderful talk 🌈 I think indeed we are experiencing an ‘archaic revival’ and perhaps a collective ‘wild awakening’

Please do a video on Hecate and Aphrodite. I’ve been worshipping Hecate since 2006, she is so special to many people

Absorbing and intriguing. I paused and replayed several segments to consider what was said. I have a much broader understanding of, not only Artemis, but the whole of the Pantheon. The thought that the ancients switched devotion from one deity to another with their transitions in life opened a whole new level of understanding for me. Modern man may know more about the mechanics of the world, but our nature is still the same. Your question near the end of the interview regarding religion, reminded me of what Joseph Campbell said about myth and how religion too often gets stuck in the metaphor and misses the broader meaning.

Πιστεύω ότι το κανάλι αυτό και η θεματολογία του, είναι κρίσιμο για ένα καλύτερο μέλλον. Πραγματικά ευχαριστώ πολύ. Έχετε δημιουργήσει αυτό που ψάχνω καιρό και θα ήμουν παραπάνω από χαρούμενος, εφόσον η παρούσα κατάσταση υποχωρήσει, να δω να κάνετε και κάτι πιο διαδραστικό! Ξανά ευχαριστώ!

Your conversations and guests are of the highest quality. Sas efkharisto !

Stellar as always

Very interesting and enlightening discussion!

Beautiful! Thank you!

Loved this conversation. Found you through your interview with Tom from Survive the Jive - and so glad I did! Thank you for creating such a wonderful channel with so much thought provoking, absorbing & visually beautiful content. I am surviving lockdown by deep diving into many areas of ancient history - partly to distract myself from a very lacerating modern world gone insane; and partly to try and really understand who we are, how we used to think/live and how we have come to where we are now. And occasionally to ponder how we might get to a much better situation if we can assimilate and build on all this ancient knowledge.

Each of your videos is a little diamond! I feel reacher every time I watch them.

This channel is a treasure. So happy I found you! I would love to hear some reading recommendations.

A very interesting episode.

Very interesting conversation! Always enjoying such interviews, keep making them! :) Well done!

Best channel on RU-vid.

Fantastic video. I would love to see more videos with experts focusing of each of the Olympians and the minor deities!

*My two cents: The Eleusinean Mysteries in ancient Greece were in honor of Demeter. Interestingly enough, those mysteries were characterized by the consumption of an entheogenic beverage. There's your answer! I will make a video on this soon! Great channel, by the way!*

Excellent! Thank you for this conversation

Thank you. 🌛🌕🌜🪷🦋

"No modern recognition of her (artemis)" Yo that hunger games girl katnis everdeen is a flipping artemis. The opening scene of that movie is literally her hunting a deer with a bow and arrows

Fantastic channel, discovered this channel through interview with Survive the Jive and got to say your material is brilliant! Particularly this interview, both so intelligent and passionate on the topic, love it!

Beautiful! Thank you so much.

What a wonderful video!! I’ve always felt closest to Artemis when I’m in the woods with my dog.

Fantastic chat and thoughts on Artemis. You both speak so poetically, and really make learning this material more thought provoking and enriching. I just love the discussion of symbolism and the gods as aspects of living and being, and of natural and universal forces. I connected his statement at the beginning that in ancient Greece there was no "THE god or goddess" to when you bring up Orphic revivalism, and what I agree is the tendency of modern pagans to lean toward literalism and a very Christian-like divine hierarchy and focus on the afterlife... (though I will say I have sympathy with their motivation; for while yes in many ways repressive attitudes are not as harsh as in centuries past, here in the States at least there is a prominent subculture of proselytizing Bible literalists, and depending on the denomination, the moral policing can be fairly heavy handed and have pretty stark effects on the psyche, both individually and on community group-think)

Great video! Thank you for doing this.

good conversation. 'Attention' as it's never forced, never concentrated like a 'prison without a view', made Artemis clearly present..the natural sense of grace.. Thanks Michael for the post! :-)

Μπράβο Μιχάλη! Συγχαριτήρια για άλλη μια φορά! Πολύ όμορφο θέμα.

Artemis was originally the Mother Goddess. She was known as virgin because she produces the world out of herself without need of sex. Name comes from P.I.E. Xartus, same as Norse Nerthus and Hindu Rta and Prthvi, among many others.

Υπέροχη συζήτηση

Otto wrote a great book about Dionysos. And back in the days they loved the mastix ;)

Πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα συνέντευξη για μια θεά που ήταν και παραμένει ανεξήγητα αγαπημένη μου από την πρώτη εφηβεία μου. Ο καθηγητής εξαιρετικός και πολύ πράος. Και οι ερωτήσεις του παρουσιαστή, ειδικά προς το τέλος, πολυ ιδιαίτερες. Συγχαρητἠρια σε όλους!

Why does the interviewer kerp on interrupting the guest when he is about to finish a sentence?

Congratulations my brother, an amazing in light only spiritual and pro-human channel I recommend to everybody

Just wow. I think the 12 gods represent the 12 different signs of the zodiac and the personality types associated with them. We each kind of take after that particular god. I see Artemis as the embodiment of the female saggitarius. Maybe I say that because I am one, and am also obsessed with Artemis. I have one of her names, Cynthia, am tall, I have walked through herds of wild deer and hand fed them, practiced archery as a teenager, prefer the woods, fell in love with one man, lost him and never loved another... etc. I am fiercely protective of children and if you touch an animal I would lose control on you and hurt you badly (I'm taller than the majority of men). I was still carded in pubs till I was over 30, some people say I don't age. Maybe the Greeks saw parts of themselves in each of the gods (we humans tend to love ourselves). I bet you can guess who I would be devoted to. But as far as spiritually, a return to the gods, or anything positive in the future of mankind in the world, I am feeling very pessimistic. I think we are all spinning out of control and will destroy ourselves. Something truly evil has crept into the world, something even the gods fear. Each of us has a piece of a god inside of us, and if stories tell of the death of the gods then we all die with them, like Ragnarok. My inner Artemis is scared.

The virginity of Artemis might reflect the nature of the wilderness as being untamed by man

Thank U

I have to confess that I became a little depressed mid-interview, maybe I expected a little more, I don't know. I had read Spyridon's essay on Artemis before, and I can say that, to an extent, he knows what Artemis is. The sexual potential that Artemis's virginity represents does not mean deficiency in comparison to the creative acts of mingling natures, divine and material, and forming something new. Artemis is always above this change and decay of natures. Does that represent a deficiency? Is the sun deficient because it doesn't shrink land change like the moon? Or is it instead unmovable by its own power, and by extension confers that characteristic of selfhood to other things? These are all questions that should be taken care of when speaking of Artemis. She is not the mother, she is not Hera, or Demeter, but even mothers have a virgin stage before mingling and creating something other than themselves, and that is their core, which is the beginning, the cause, and also the end, being that the cause is not dependent on nothing other than itself, and that all that comes from it ultimately reverts back to it.

1:01:00 the gods come from a technological past that is also our future. The existence goes up and down like a sound wave. Progress and remembering if who we are, followed by regress and forgetting of who we are - the one creator. We r one consciousness in infinite bodies. Time does not exist. Many of us come from Taygeta, Pleiades.

58:00 the path to meet the gods again.. we are the gods. It is the voltage in your body. Naturally, we are immortals. Marina Jacobi detox protocol on youtube to resurrect your body. Plus 2 hours exercise daily. St Padre Pio

17:00 the humans are the gods. Always have been. The are the Karistus race of Jupiter. Winged men. A galactic race. Currently living under reptilian oppression which is why they live only 100 years instead of being immortal.

The interviewer is swaying the audience with the word: 'Always'. Personally, I find this disturbingly deceptive.
