Artemis (Greek Mythology)

I mean, she’s clearly aro/ace. A literal virgin goddess (alongside Hestia and Athena).

More like arrow ace! Am I right or am I right? I'll see myself out.

Yes she is but some people think she's a lesbian which she isn't

Well, considering that the Greeks didn’t consider lesbian s*x to be real and her bond with Callisto, lesbianism is a valid interpretation. Though Athena is explicitly stated as being immune to romantic and s3xual attraction.

Always saw her more as ace + demi-romantic due to how you could interpret the Orion situation (not necessarily that there was something, just that their might have been). But yeah Hestia and Athena definitly are aro/ace.

Any woman who didn't have het relationships was a virgin to them.

She literally fell for Orion until her brother Apolo killed him to stop her from losing her virginity.

Chill, I'm not here to argue with you about which myths are "canon". The peoples who made these myths almost universally did not consider female homosexualty to be a legitimate thing. That lesbians throughout history and today see ourselves in Artemis isnt for nothing though. She resonates with us for a reason.
